Overview

Moderating comments one site at a time gets tedious fast when you look after many WordPress sites. Each site has its own dashboard, its own queue of pending comments and its own spam to clear. This extension brings those queues together so you can work through them in one place, using the tools you already use to manage your sites.

Inside the MainWP Dashboard you can filter comments by keyword, status or date range, then act on them one by one or in bulk. You can approve, disapprove, mark as spam, restore or delete, and you can edit individual comments. Comments on custom post types are covered too, which helps on sites with more complex content structures.

Features

  • Central comment management: Manage comments from all your connected Child Sites in one place, so you do not have to log in to each WordPress site separately to moderate discussions.
  • Filter by keyword, status and date: Find the comments that need attention using keyword search, status (pending, approved or spam) and a date range, then prioritize your moderation work.
  • Bulk moderation actions: Approve, disapprove, mark as spam, un-spam, restore or delete several comments at once, directly from the MainWP Dashboard.
  • Individual comment controls: Handle comments case by case. You can edit a comment, approve it, mark it as spam or move it to the trash.
  • Recent comments widget: A widget on the Site Overview page shows the latest approved, pending and trashed comments across your sites, so you can spot items that need action.
  • Custom post type support: Moderate comments on custom post types as well as standard posts and pages, keeping all of a site's discussions within one workflow.
  • Adjustable comment display length: Change how much of each comment appears in your dashboard so the list reads the way you prefer while you moderate.
  • Works with MainWP Dashboard: The extension is built to fit into the MainWP Dashboard, so comment moderation sits alongside the rest of your site management tasks.

Best for

  • Agencies moderating comments across many client sites
  • Freelancers who manage several WordPress sites from MainWP
  • Site owners with custom post types that accept comments
