 * For my posts, comments to the general audience are moderated (I must approve 
   all comments.) However I want to be selective to allow a few comments to be automatically
   approved. I do not want comments to be everyone with one approved comment to 
   be approved… just a few that I select.
 * I tried to make one person an Administrator so that his comments would be automatically
   approved, but that didn’t work.
 * So, how can I automatically approve comments for a selected few?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmoderated-comments-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I may be mistaken, but I believe you’re looking for a plugin like the one below:
   
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-approve-comments/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-approve-comments/)
 * It extends the default WordPress options a bit more.

 * I’ve tried this but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve only got one commenter I want
   to always approve. I’ve tried to put his information (user name, email, etc) 
   in all the places, but his comments still require moderation.
