Description
If one disables the author field via
unset($fields['author'];
then writes a comment, the comment does not show up as "awaiting moderation" on the comment overview page.
Disabling the email and/or url field does not effect the "awaiting moderation" status.

I don't understand where the unset()
line goes. Did you modify a core WP file?

I added this filter in the themes functions.php to disable some
fields including the author field. Please note, that only disabling
the author field is causing the bug.
/** * Disable comment fields * * @param array The fields array * @return array The fields array with the disabled comment fields */ function disable_comment_fields($fields) { unset($fields['author']); unset($fields['email']); unset($fields['url']); return $fields; } add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'disable_comment_fields', 10030);
As a workaround I used following filter in the themes function.php
/** * Set a default author name for comments * * This is a workaround for this bug http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21877 */ function set_default_author_name($data) { return 'John Doe Default'; } add_filter('pre_comment_author_name', 'set_default_author_name', 10050);

Much better; thanks.
Does this happen with the twentyeleven theme or just with your theme?

It happens with our theme and the Twenty Eleven theme. I just tested the Twenty Ten theme and it happens with it as well.

Comments awaiting moderation are only displayed to their authors:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.4.2/wp-includes/comment-template.php#L885
If comment author is logged in, then $user_ID
is passed, and comments from moderation queue are still displayed (since [5238]), regardless of whether 'author'
field is disabled or not.
If comment author is not logged in and 'author'
field is disabled, then $comment_author
is empty, and comments from moderation queue are not retrieved.
This sounds like expected behaviour, I don't see a bug here.
I missed the closing brace:
