Administrate and Moderate Member Articles or blog posts and associated photo galleries

This article discuss how to moderate and manage your articles written by your authorised website authors.

Website Administrators will need to keep an eye on articles posted by members

Every time a member posts or updates an article an email is sent to the default contact email address to let you know about this. You will then be able to moderate or approve the article.

If your article module defaults are set to "Auto Approve Articles = No" the new article will not be visible on the website until you approve the article. One you approved the article it will automatically be published together with the photos associated / linked to the article.
