My site has been hacked
-
How do I get rid of the spam on my comments? I have 51,000 comments from some other country about health concerns.

Hi there,
There is a way to bulk mark comments as spam, by going to My Site > Site > Comments > Bulk Edit, selecting all the spam comments (I’ll have a look to see if there’s a quick way of doing that for the *many* comments), and clicking ‘Spam’. The comments will then be removed from your site and moved to the Spam folder. I believe there is then some time (about a week or two), and after that the comments are automatically deleted. (You can also delete them yourself. You can bulk delete them in the same way.)
