Beschreibung
This plugin schedules a daily event using wp_cron that deletes all comments marked „spam“ in the database, then optimizes the comments table.
Brief reason why I made such a low-tech plugin:
Akismet catches all the spam, but when I was looking at the size of my backups one day,
I noticed that there were large numbers of comment spam across several sites that were undeleted and they
made the databases fairly large. So I setup a cron job on my server that deletes the spam.
Since I had never written a plugin, I thought this might be helpful for those who do not have
a dedicated server, shell access to their site, or the knowledge of (or interest in ) cron to set this up.
Spam is not deleted until you start the schedule after the plugin is activated. I created buttons
to start and stop the schedule if you need that layer of control. There is also a button for deleting all spam manually.
Installation
- Upload the
delete-spam-daily
folder to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress
- Look under „Settings“ –> „Delete Spam Daily“ to activate the schedule.
- You can start and stop the schedule from the „Delete Spam Daily“ menu.
FAQ
- What time does comment spam get deleted?
-
The first time you start the schedule, spam gets deleted.
Subsequent spam will be scheduled to delete every 24 hours after the first activation. - If I de-activate this plugin, will it continue to delete spam daily?
-
No. The cron job is cleared upon deactivation.

Included button to start deleting spam daily, and a button to delete spam immediately. Once the schedule was activated, it provided a button to stop the schedule.
