Comment spam is the term used for unwanted comments on your blog. These comments are usually unrelated to the topic and often contain links to products on other websites.<\/p>\n
All comments are stored in a database, and this plugin<\/a> clears your entire comment table in the database with just one click.<\/p>\n Note: You will lose ALL comments at once.<\/span><\/p>\n You can adjust the display of the number of comments in your admin panel. Click on “Screen Options” when you are in the comments section of your WordPress admin and set the number displayed to 50 or 100.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Then you can select all messages (at once) and deselect the comments you want to keep. This depends on the ratio of spam to the number of messages you want to keep.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n WordPress has a settings page for comments where you can set a higher threshold for posting comments. For example, you can set to mark any comment with more than 1 link<\/strong> as spam or require users to register before commenting.<\/p>\nSelectively remove spam comments without plugins<\/h2>\n
Prevent comment spam via WordPress settings<\/h2>\n
