Take control of WordPress comments
WP Comment Cleaner Premium is a comment management plugin for WordPress sites that need to remove unwanted comments, disable commenting, review comment groups, or preserve comment data before deletion. It brings deletion tools and comment controls into a focused admin interface for store owners, bloggers, developers, and agencies.
The plugin can work with different comment statuses, including approved, pending, spam, and trash. You can delete comments in bulk, filter them by status, and use smart date filtering to narrow the set of comments selected for an operation.
Premium tools for safer workflows
The Premium edition adds tools for handling comment data before and after cleanup. Comments can be exported to CSV before deletion, giving you a file containing the exported comment information for later reference. This is useful when you want to retain a record before removing comments from the site.
- Export comments to CSV before deleting them.
- Allow selected user roles to comment when comments are disabled globally.
- Schedule automatic spam cleanup.
- Choose daily, weekly, or monthly spam-cleanup schedules.
- Delete comments without a stated deletion limit in the Premium feature list.
- Receive priority email support.
Disable comments with role-based exclusions
Comments can be disabled globally or by post type. With the Premium role-based exclusion feature, specific user roles can still be allowed to comment even when comments are disabled globally. This provides a more selective approach for sites that want broad comment restrictions while retaining commenting access for defined roles.
Schedule spam cleanup
Scheduled automatic spam cleanup is available in Premium. You can select a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, allowing the plugin to remove spam comments according to the interval you choose. This is intended for sites that want recurring spam maintenance rather than relying only on occasional manual deletion.
Practical comment-cleanup workflow
Start by filtering comments by status or date to define the group you want to manage. If a record is needed, export the comments to CSV before deletion. You can then remove approved, pending, spam, or trash comments as appropriate. For ongoing maintenance, configure the scheduled spam cleanup and choose the desired frequency.
The plugin also includes one-click comment deletion, site-wide comment controls, automatic spam detection, confirmation alerts, and a user-friendly admin interface. The source describes operations as being performed locally on your WordPress site and states that the plugin does not store or share user data.
Installation and setup
Install and activate WP Comment Cleaner Premium in WordPress, then open its admin interface to review the available comment controls. Use the status and date filters before a bulk action, configure role exclusions under the comment-disabling settings, and set a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule for automatic spam cleanup if required.
The Premium version is described as available for a one-time fee of $9.99 USD and includes lifetime updates and support.
