Overview
When you manage several WordPress sites, reviewing comments one site at a time can make moderation tedious. MainWP Comments Extension brings comments from connected Child Sites into one central dashboard, where you can approve, disapprove, edit, mark as spam, or delete individual comments. This gives site managers and client service teams one place to handle routine comment work across their sites.
Use filters to find comments by keyword, status, or date range, then take action on individual comments or selected groups. The extension also includes a Site Overview widget showing recent approved, pending, and trashed comments. It can manage comments on custom post types as well as standard content, making it useful for WordPress networks with varied publishing needs.
Features
- Central comment management: View and moderate comments from connected WordPress Child Sites in the MainWP Dashboard, without signing in to each site separately.
- Comment search filters: Find comments using keyword search, comment status, or date range to focus on the items that need review.
- Bulk moderation actions: Select multiple comments to approve, disapprove, mark as spam, remove from spam, restore, or delete them together.
- Individual comment controls: Edit, approve, mark as spam, or trash comments one at a time when a specific comment needs closer attention.
- Recent comments widget: See the latest approved, pending, and trashed comments across your sites in a widget on the Site Overview page.
- Custom post type comments: Manage comments attached to custom post types as well as comments on standard WordPress posts and pages.
Best for
- Agencies managing client WordPress sites
- Freelancers overseeing multiple websites
- Site owners moderating comments across sites
