To test if anonymous comments are being prevented by the setting in WordPress<\/a>, you can try to submit a comment without providing your name and email address. Here’s how you can do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Log out of your WordPress account<\/strong>: Ensure you’re not logged in so that you’re treated as an anonymous user.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Navigate to a post or page on your site<\/strong>: Go to a blog post or page where comments are enabled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Attempt to submit a comment without filling out the required fields<\/strong>: Try to submit a comment without entering your name and email address.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Check the result<\/strong>: If anonymous comments are disabled, you should be prompted to enter your name and email address before you can submit the comment. If you’re able to submit the comment without entering this information, then anonymous comments are not being prevented by the setting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          If you want to test the moderation settings, you can also try submitting a comment that contains a blacklisted word or a large number of links, as these are common triggers for comment moderation. If the comment is held for moderation or disappears entirely, then the moderation settings are working as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
