WordPress Guest Post Admin Access?
-
Is there a plugin or function in WordPress for a guest poster to just get admin access to control comments?
Example:
Big Brand X writes a guest post on www.yoursite.com.
Big Brand X wants admin access to approve or delete comments on their guest on www.yoursite.com.
Big Brand X doesn't want access to edit their guest post or any other post on www.yoursite.com, they just want admin access to manage the comments on their guest post.
Is this possible? Thanks for the help!

Awesome! Exactly the answer I was looking for. Many thanks, Ben, greatly appreciate the help with this.

Yes, "Authors" have authority over editing their own content, publishing the post and moderating their own comments.
The Codex is looking at the "universal" control features. Of which "authors" are very limited.

Thanks, Ben for checking into this. Just so I understand correctly, are you saying that a guest poster who is assigned the role of "Author" can actually moderate comments on their post?
I didn't see that info in the codex. I know that the role of "Editor" does but it looks like an Editor can a lot of other things as well.

Hey David,
I saw the same information in the codex and it is a bit misleading. An "Author" has moderation control on their own posts but doesn't have "comment moderation" power over the whole site. Only admins do.
I just tested this out again. Make sure you go into the top "help" menu on the edit post page and check "comments" and "discussion".

Thank you, Ben and Sanket for taking the time to respond. I looked at the different roles WordPress lets you assign. Unfortunately, the "lowest" role that lets a user moderate comments also lets a user edit other pages and posts, which is rather risky for the person whose letting Big Brand X guest post on their site.
Thanks again for the help, appreciate it.

Hi David,
It is possible for you as guest post to moderate comments of your guest post on www.yoursite.com. Wordpress administrator gives you a right to moderate our own post, for more information please read this link it will help you more to get a solution of your question.

An "author" can moderate any comments in the admin area of the posts they have written. Set their role to "Author" and you should be all set.

Is it okay to delete old blog posts?
Hi All, I'm doing some SEO work on an entertainment (movies/tv/gaming) blog that started in 2011. Their recent articles have gained some popularity due to improved content and marketing, but there is some old stuff from the early days that was poorly written and gets virtually no traffic. These are mostly old news pieces. Out of approximately 10,000 articles, about 1,000 are receiving the lions share of the traffic. I feel like their good content is getting bogged down in a sea of crap. Would there be any harm in deleting some of those old posts? Is there a best practice for culling content? Thanks!

How do I properly sitemap a site with static pages + Wordpress in it's own directory?
I apologize for the awkward wording in the headline. No to the issue, I have a site with static pages that are created as follows: url.com, url.com/page1, url.com/page2, etc. I then have WordPress install at url.com/blog. What is the proper method for creating a comprehensive sitemap for my entire domain. I like the sitemap feature provided by Yoast SEO plugin but I assume it will only index the wordpress directory (url.com/blog). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How many categories should you have within a blog / Wordpress Site for SEO?
Hi Guys I am just wondering whether or not for SEO purposes it is better to have a small number of categories for your blog posts to fit into as opposed to numerous ones. The reason I ask is that I have one site which is fairly new to the search engines - 8 months old which has 7 general categories within the blog for instance "rail contractors", "railway construction" "airport construction" etc I have another site which is 10 years old which has built up 25 different types of categories for instance brand design, brand development, brand management (i guess you could put all these under 1 category "branding"? We've been writing lots of press for both sites... yet the younger site is getting more coverage on Google page 1. Would this be because the blogs / press are more concentrated under a specific category as opposed to being spread thinly throughout the site? Any help would be appreciated. Debs 🙂

Would you allow guest writers to have google adsense on your site
Hi, i am thinking of building a website where 30% of the writers would be guest bloggers and i was thinking about letting guest bloggers have adsense on the site. What i was thinking of doing was, allowing the guest blogger to have one google adsense advert on the page of the article but not sure what people think. The new magazine would be on one topic but i am worried incase the person kept on pressing the google adsense advert to get money in. The google adsense code would be there code, does anyone know if there is a way from hiding their code so they do not know which one is their google adsense advert, and do people think this is a good idea. This would only be offered to people who write good quality interest content. will be interested to hear your thoughts

Opinions for the Long URL strings in WordPress Blogs.
We use Wordpress for our agency Blogs. The URL's are very long and the Moz does not like the long URL's. Should we use the stubby, short Wordpress URL's for each blog post? Is there a "Best Practice" for how one should use the Wordpress URL string?
