Blocked comments but they are still in my comments box

  • Hello. I am using the Hollywood Blog theme and I checked off not to allow comments.

    However, when I sign in to my Admin panel I see over 200 yellow highlighted comments.

    Any advice?

  • I’d recommend the disable comments plugin:

    This will get rid of pending comments as well if you completely remove them.

    The comments may have come in when you were allowing comments (Prior to checking the box), in which case you’d need to just spam em.

    Thanks for the response DoubleXL but the comments came in AFTER I checked no comments. That’s why I was/am confused about how they got there.

    It makes no sense.

    Hi there – I had the same problem. This thread made me realize that all the comments I was receiving were coming in on PAGEs, not Posts (as I had the settings disabled for comments – but apparently that is only for posts.)

    I went to my pages and listed all – then went through the quick settings and found several of my pages had comments enabled on them.

    If this is your situation, go and manually disable comments and that should take care most of the problem.

    I also added the disabled comments plugin – and between these two things hopefully that will take care of unwanted comments – no more Viagara, SEO services, or “I really like your blog!” junk comments!
