# Comments Management

## Global Comments

This section lets you decide where people are allowed to leave comments.

- **What it does:** You can turn off comments for your whole website or just for specific types of pages.

- **How to use it:** Use the dropdown menu to choose if you want to disable comments everywhere or only on certain parts of your site.

### Select Post Types

If you chose to turn off comments on “certain post types,” this is where you pick them.

- **What it does:** You can flip the switch for **Posts**, **Pages**, **Media** (like images), or **Products**.

- **Why use it:** Sometimes you want people to comment on your blog posts, but not on your “Contact Us” page or product images.

## Comment Settings (The Spam Blockers)

Spammers love to leave links to other websites. These settings stop them.

- **Remove “url” in the comment form:** This hides the box where people normally type their website address. If they can’t put their link, they usually won’t leave a spam comment.

- **Remove external links in the comments:** If a spammer does leave a link, this tool will strip it out.

- **Replace external links from author bio:** This stops people from using their profile name to advertise other websites.

## Cleaning Up Old Comments

The bottom sections are for deleting comments that are already there.

- **Remove All Comments:** Use this to wipe the slate clean and delete every single comment on your site.

- **Remove Spam Comments:** This deletes comments that WordPress has already flagged as “Spam.”

- **Remove Unapproved Comments:** This clears out comments waiting for you to say “Yes” or “No” to them.

- **Remove Trashed Comments:** This empties the “Trash” bin for your comments, like taking the garbage out to the curb.

**💡**Always click the purple **Save Changes** button at the very bottom left after you make a choice. If you don’t, the plugin won’t remember what you picked!
