I get a lot of spam comments, what should I do?

If your website allows comments to be left on posts then you will likely start receiving spam comments. These spam comments are mostly just annoying, they will not be shown on your site unless you approve them. If you would like to stop comments being left you can adjust your comments settings to prevent this from happening. This article explains how to do this How to Disable Comments in WordPress.

If you do want to continue allowing people to leave comments but would like to prevent spam comments from being submitted, a plugin such as Akisment or Anti-spam can be added. If you would like help installing one of these plugins please contact us.
