Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about AOS Comment Spam Cleanup
Permanently deleted comments cannot be recovered. We strongly recommend using Mark as Spam or Move to Trash first, reviewing the results, and only choosing "Delete Permanently" when you are certain.
No. The plugin only loads on your admin page and during comment submission (honeypot + quality check). There is zero frontend performance impact for visitors.
Yes. A tiny inline JavaScript snippet empties the honeypot field for real users on page load, so cached pages work correctly. Bots that do not execute JavaScript still fill the field and get caught.
Regex Mode uses MySQL REGEXP instead of LIKE for pattern matching, allowing complex patterns like shorturl\.[a-z]+ to match any shorturl.* domain. Standard mode (LIKE) is recommended for simple domain matching. Patterns are validated before execution.
AOS Comment Spam Cleanup uses only standard WordPress hooks (pre_comment_approved, preprocess_comment, comment_form_after_fields) and does not override or replace other plugins' functionality. It has been tested alongside Akismet and Antispam Bee.
The default threshold of 5 is conservative. A normal comment with one link scores 2 points — safely below the threshold. Test with "Hold for moderation" (not "Mark as Spam") first to see which comments get flagged before applying stricter settings.
Use WP-CLI: wp option delete aosc_settings Or go to Tools → Site Health → Info → WordPress and look for the aosc_settings option.
Yes, on individual sites. Network-wide management across all sites in a network is planned for a future version.
Yes — add patterns to the WordPress Blocklist (via the scanner or the blocklist card). Any future comment containing that pattern will automatically be marked as spam by WordPress before any other check runs.
