  • Delete all spam comments with one click

  • Disable comments site-wide
  • Download a backup of your comments before deletion

The plugin is designed to be simple to use while providing robust functionality for comment management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover deleted comments?

Yes, if you create a backup before deletion. The plugin offers a backup option before performing any deletion operation.

Will disabling comments affect existing comments?

No, disabling comments only prevents new comments from being added. Existing comments remain visible unless you explicitly delete them.
