# Comment approval problem

 * On the Dashboard page, in the Recent Comments column, I had a comment pending
   approval. Along the bottom of the comment was Approve | Edit | Reply | Spam |
   Delete . I clicked Approve, but that didn’t seem to “take.” So I clicked into
   the Edit Comments page and did the same thing, clicked that Approve link. It 
   didn’t work from there either. I had to check the box next to the comment and
   select Approve and then click Apply and that worked. Any thoughts? Using ver 
   2.8.4.

 * Hmmm, ok, I’ll try some of those things. However, I only have 2 plug-ins and 
   a theme. The Delete and Reply functions did work, so I was just wondering if 
   there was a problem with Approve.
    Thanks for the quick response though.
