  Hi amandapd,

  You can edit or delete comments by clicking on the “edit comment” button found on the top right corner or the comment.

  Once in the edit section, on the right you will see the “status” section.

  From there you can click on “Move to trash” to remove the comment.

  Thanks!

  Nicolas

  Hi Nicolas,
  Thanks for that. I don’t seem to have an “edit comment” button on the top right corner of the comment? Is there anywhere else the comment can be edited?

  Many thanks
  Amanda

  Go to http://amandadalyblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?comment_status=approved

  Locate the comment, hover over it and click the Trash link.
