How do I disable the "comment awaiting moderation" message? I see it from time to time and I don't understand what causes it to appear.  Everything is working fine, we don't need this message!

First of all, if you want to disable the comment moderation, please navigate to the Dashboard > Settings > Discussion> admin page find and uncheck the following options:
 
. A comment is held for moderation
. Comment author must have a previously approved comment
 
 
In case if you just want to hide the  "comment awaiting moderation" text, please navigate to the  Dashboard > Comment > Settings > Styling admin page, put the following CSS code in the "Custom CSS code" textarea:
 
p.wc_held_for_moderate{
display: none;
}
Please note, in any case, the comments go to the moderation, the CSS code just hides the text.
Don't forget to delete all caches and press CTRL+F5(twice) on the frontend before checking.

HI @elvina, I cant find these settings. I found a page with URL:

37/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?page=wpdiscuz_options_page

the title says:

wpDiscuz General Settings

but these field are not there:

. A comment is held for moderation
. Comment author must have a previously approved comment
