Managing Comments

Wordpress allows you to manage all of the comments on your site in several ways.

To get to the comment management page, go to Dashboard > Comments in the admin menu.

The comments page should look like this.

There are several actions that you can do with a single comment.

1. Approve/Unapprove - This action will decide if a comment will appear on your website or not. If you approve the comment, it will be published for all to see.

2. Reply - This action will allow you to post a response to a specific comment on your page. After you reply, the new comment will appear underneath the comment you replied to.

3. Quick Edit - This action will allow you to edit basic parts of a comment that's been posted on your page.

4. Edit - When you click edit below a comment, it will take you to a new page dedicated to that commment. On this screen, you can approve the comment, put it in pending, or mark it as spam. You can also edit the date in which the comment was posted as well as the author, e-mail, URL, and the content of the comment. The option to delete the comment is present on this screen as well.

5. Spam - This action allows you to mark a comment as spam. Spam comments include any sort of advertising or general, nonsensical language, that you do not wish to feature in your comments.

6. Trash - This action will allow you to delete a comment you do not want on your blog.
