How to disable auto publish new posts?

[Samir_Sabri]

Hello

How to prevent posts being published immediately ? I found this settings to review, but I can’t prevent posts to get published immediately.

Any idea ?

I guess one semi-hacky way to do it would be to add * to the Require Approval section of watched words.

/watched_words/action/require_approval:

I think you can use

approve unless allowed groups
Posts created by users not in these groups must be approved. Posts created by admins and moderators are always approved.

and

approve new topics unless allowed groups
New topics created by users not in these groups must be approved. Topics created by admins and moderators are always approved.

In each Category settings there is also these settings

You would need to click these settings for each category you want to have post/reply approval.
