Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Delete & Disable Comments

Yes. Use Download Backup before Delete All Comments. The backup is generated on demand and streamed as a protected administrator download.

No. The CSV backup is for safekeeping or manual import workflows. The plugin does not include a restore tool.

Comment fields that look like spreadsheet formulas are prefixed with an apostrophe in the CSV. This keeps untrusted comment text visible while preventing common spreadsheet applications from evaluating it as a formula. Remove that protective prefix only in a trusted import workflow.

No. The disable toggle prevents and hides comment functionality, but existing comment records stay in the database until you explicitly delete them.

The close action does not call wp_update_post() for every post and does not trigger save_post hooks. That keeps it suitable for sites using WPML, Yoast SEO, Polylang, and other plugins that react to post saves.

Only users with the manage_options capability, usually administrators. AJAX actions are protected with WordPress nonces and capability checks.

No. This plugin is designed for single-site WordPress installations.

No. Cleanup actions run only when an administrator clicks the relevant button.

Backups are streamed through a protected administrator download. The plugin no longer leaves CSV files in the public uploads directory.
