User Rating

12/15

The 82 out of 100 score from 12 ratings is positive, though the small sample size means the number should be read with some caution.

Support Health

8/15

With zero support threads opened and zero resolved, there is no public track record of how responsive the developer is when issues come up.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility scores a perfect 100, reflecting the very low WordPress 5.0 minimum requirement and the recent update against WordPress 7.0.1.

What It Does

Bulk Delete Comments lets administrators mass-remove comments from a WordPress site, filtering by status, post, category, or type before deletion. It adds a dedicated admin screen where you queue up large comment purges with a few clicks rather than deleting them one by one in the dashboard. It is a single-purpose utility aimed at cleaning up comment backlogs, especially spam.

Who It's For

This plugin suits site owners and developers who have inherited or accumulated large comment databases, particularly older sites with years of spam that need a one-time or occasional purge. It is also useful for admins who want to remove all comments from specific posts, categories, or post types without touching the rest of the site. It is not built for ongoing comment moderation.

Who Should Skip It

If you simply want to stop new spam from arriving, Akismet or Antispam Bee will do that without deleting anything. If your goal is to disable comments entirely site-wide rather than clean them up, Disable Comments is a more direct fit.

The Bottom Line

Bulk Delete Comments does one thing, and the recent update plus WordPress 7.0.1 testing suggest the developer is actively maintaining it. The lack of any support history is the main caveat, so test on a staging site before running it against a large production database. If you just need to wipe a few thousand spam comments, it is a reasonable choice; if you need ongoing spam control, look at Akismet or Antispam Bee instead.

Pick Akismet when you want to stop spam comments at the door rather than clean up comments that already exist.
