Is it just me or is it not worth it to keep blog comments on any longer?
The percentage of comments that are actually relevant to the content, aren’t blatant spam, and add value are maybe 5% at this point?
Seems like it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
I rarely ever work with comments anymore. There’s a nice plugin, Disable Comments, that does exactly that. I also built my own version, bit more lightweight.
Been using them for a little while now and it’s SO nice.
On my personal blog, a few posts have decent comment threads. So I keep them on.
I use Akismet to bin the obvious spam. It does a good job.
And there’s a setting to require me to approve comments. The site sends me an email with an Approve link in it. All core functionality, not plugin mediated.
Who reads blogs honestly? I have one on my catering business website but who the fuck reads this dumb ass shit
A big nooooo…
Currently, I’m dealing with 2 WooCommerce store with hundreds of blog posts. Comments are enabled after approval. But the funny fact is there is nothing to approve. We can’t see any valuable / useful content in comments & all of them are spam. I’m just trashing more than 20,000 comments per month.
Now planning to completely disable comments on both WordPress site.
i strongly suggest clients don’t use them. they don’t provide any benefit and the moderation is human labor many don’t want to commit.
Depends on your business needs. You can easily turn it off using a code snippet plugin like WPCode.
I personally keep it on and just add captcha to avoid spam.
