| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | The category name. |

Comments
Manage in Blogs → Comments. Visitors can leave comments on posts (if enabled). The moderation screen lets you:
- Filter by status: All / Pending / Approved / Rejected.
- Approve, Reject or Delete comments.
- Use bulk actions to moderate many at once.

Tip Turn on comment moderation in Settings so new comments stay Pending until you approve them — this stops spam from appearing.
