Deleting all comments

  • I have over 15000 comments. I have closed all comments on my pages and posts, however, this only prevents new comments from being made, but the old comments are still showing up on my page. I have been deleting them on the Comments page which deletes only 20 at a time. Is there a faster way to delete all these comments at one time, but still being able to turn on comments again when I need to do so?

    Thank you for your help

  • You can do a database query if you’re comfortable with that or try this:

    Thank you for responding.
    I did follow your link which stated to go to tools, then follow instructions to delete all comments. But tools take me to “Press This” There is no mention of comments.

    You are correct I am not comfortable with a database query. I am not knowledgeable as what to do.

    Sorry I just realized that I have to down load the plugin. I will do that and let you know if this has resolved the problem.

    Thank you again.
