It’s quite annoying to see unwanted and spam comments getting accumulated under Pending Comments.
These even appeared despite having Akismet installed in my blog. Good thing a plugin is available to solve this problem. Pinay Mommy Online introduced and advised me to install Delete Pending Comments Plugin and it worked instantly after installing it with just one click.
With this plugin you can easily delete all pending WordPress comments. It’s quite useful if you’re the victim of a spammer attack.
Once installed and after plugin activation, you will find this at your sidebar under Dashboard.
Click on Delete Pending Comments (blue shade shown), and it will ask you to:
Voila! No more annoying unwanted comments. Before doing the last step, just make sure that everything under Pending Comments are spam comments otherwise all your legit comments will be deleted, too!

Hi, Mitch here, a full-time home-based Marketing Manager by day, 24/7 Mom, and a Blogger/Content Creator in my spare time. Proud mom to 2 girls and 1 boy, Derelle, Erchelle, and Elric.
I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and having to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.
I also author and manage my 15-year-old blog, which developed my social media awareness over the years.
From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture. A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
But the problem with this plugin sis, what if there are legit comments that come in and gets filtered and end up in your spam folder? 🙁
That’s one thing that you need to go through first, otherwise, it’ll also get deleted. At least this is way easier than checking your legit comments and at the same time delete the spam comments by batch. With this plugin, in one click they get deleted.
