Comments Moderation

Overview

The Comments Moderation page (commentsadmin.php) is a centralized administration interface for managing user comments across three content types: Videos, Models, and Cam Performers. It provides a unified dashboard with statistics, filtering capabilities, individual comment actions (approve, reject, delete), bulk operations for processing multiple comments simultaneously, and real-time AJAX updates without page reloads.

Location: Navigate to Admin Panel → Comments or access from the Dashboard navigation.

Troubleshooting

Common Errors

Cause: CSRF token expired or mismatched
Solution:

1. Refresh the page to get a new CSRF token
2. Check if session has expired (re-login if needed)
3. Ensure cookies are enabled

Cause: The contenttype parameter is not 'video', 'model', or 'cam'
Solution:

1. Use only the provided filter options
2. Don't manually modify URL parameters

Cause: No comment ID provided or ID is 0
Solution:

1. Click action buttons from the table rows
2. Ensure JavaScript is enabled

Cause: Attempting bulk action with no checkboxes selected
Solution:

1. Select at least one comment checkbox
2. Use the header checkbox to select all

Cause: Frontend may cache comment lists
Solution:

1. Clear browser cache
2. Check frontend comment display logic
3. Verify the status was actually updated (check "Approved" filter)

Debug Tips

1. Check browser console - JavaScript errors appear here
2. Check Network tab - AJAX requests and responses
3. Verify database - Query comment tables directly to confirm status changes
4. Check error logs - PHP errors logged to server error log
