I have got nearly a million comments on MathPickle.com – Every one I’ve looked at is spam. Yet when I try to do a bulk action to erase them all WordPress crashes.

1) How can I erase all the old spam?
2) I see many plugins to stop this. Which one should I use?

Gord!

Literally, a million? Anyhow, if you have lots and lots and lots of spam to delete, the “empty spam” button may cause timeouts. See https://www.raymond.cc/blog/easily-delete-all-wordpress-spam-comments-using-phpmyadmin/ for a couple of other options. The SQL option is probably the best. Read the comments on that post for a final step for that option.

What anti-spam plugin(s) are you using? I like “AntiSpam Bee” because it has an option to automate the deletion process.
