Alerts for comments on network site

  • I occasionally get alerts for suspected malware in comments. However, my installation is a network with hundreds of sites. Wordfence gives no indication of the site, post, URL, or even the date of the comment. It would be great if this were added to a future update.

    In the meantime, does anyone have advice for tracking down a suspicious comment in a network installation? I do have MYSQL access if it helps.

  • phpMyadmin is your friend (or at least it is mine!). If its all under one network install you can search under wp_*_comments for a particular word. I used to search cialis, viagra, etc and purge like that. Is that what you needed?

    Can you send me an email you are getting so I can see what you receive? Also please confirm the version of WF you are running?

    Hi, the email is below. I’m using the free version of Wordfence 5.3.8 (I let my subscription lapse a couple months ago and am waiting for my department to approve a renewal).

    I ended up querying through all the database tables one at a time as suggested but a more detailed message including the name/url of the sub-site or post would be appreciated in the future if possible.

    Thanks — E
