Goodness. I’m getting a TON of spam comments on old posts. WordPress is catching them and holding them in pending status, but that means I have to go through them and mark them all as spam. Akismet is catching even more of them, just not all.
I need a good plugin that will close comments on old posts. I have 11+ years of archives here, I’m not up to doing it manually.
Anyone know of a good plugin to use for it? One that they love more than all the rest? Help?
One reply on “Closing Comments on Old Posts?”
If you use wordpress you should be able to set how long comments stay open. – i think it under the comments tab.
But in my experience my older posts are the ones that are the most popular as they rank better in the search engines.
