This plugin hasnt been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
This plug-in remove all comments from your current word press site. When Plug-in is active its remove all comments for all user. You can also remove comments from specific post type.
You have a option to removed comments only from posts or pages.
You can also remove from custom post type. For that you have to add code in your current theme`s function.php file.
Note: When you select « Yes » to « Do you want to remove all comments? » Its override all other option settings.
My site has 177 comments I wanted to get rid of.
Straight after the installation of this plugin, I get the following message:
« Its looks there are many comments in your website.This plugin will not work with your website. You can get full version from here (link to the paid version). »
Dude, If you want to release a free version of the plugin and submit it to the WordPress plugin inventory, at least make it do something useful!
This is a waste of time.
The website said it might not be compatible, the website warned me this might not be what I wanted.
Oh it was EXACTLY what I wanted and needed. The « auto » approval of the comments on photos was something I had initially tried to turn off using the steps a when I setup the site, but at first it only worked on posts. Once I found the option to address the individual photos, it had already collected 260000+ comments in less than a few weeks.
The client wanted NO comments at all. After all this time, I found this application, and they are GONE.
Thank you!
Update.php had a warning but otherwise the plug in worked wonderfully. I’m not clear what the author suggest be done after such an operation. I just wanted to remove the two thousand « ping-back » crap comments that infected my site, then return to normal operations for a media campaign. So after the Purge, I went back to « remove comments » on my dash and debated about whether it was necessary to change the settings to « no. » I wondered if leaving them at « yes » meant that it would continuously purge new comments. Then I decided why have this plugin active at all, so I deactivated it.
I’m glad to keep the plugin installed for next time things get out of control.
