But when logged in you can also manually hide them from the public, this should remove ahead of the cache clearing. By this time, it should already be gone. * Thread Starter [dexterroona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dexterroona/) * (@dexterroona) * [1 month, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18832368) * im still seeing the word Deleted in the thread * Plugin Contributor [Hudson Atwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hudson-atwell/) * (@hudson-atwell) * [1 month, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18832432) * That might be just for you logged in as the admin. Deleted comments on Reddit are still included in the API result, so they are still shown but with the deleted flag, to the admin, but should not be shown to everyone else. If you open the same page in incognito does it show as a comment still? If it does then its a bug and I’ll need to get a fix out. - This reply was modified 1 month, 2 weeks ago by [Hudson Atwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hudson-atwell/). * Thread Starter [dexterroona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dexterroona/) * (@dexterroona) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18833845) * still shows in incognito * Plugin Contributor [Hudson Atwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hudson-atwell/) * (@hudson-atwell) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18833949) * [@dexterroona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dexterroona/) I see. It turns out user deleted comments are handled differently from comments that the admin deletes. I’ve a fix on the way that should solve the problem in 1.4.5, but I’m unable to test today. Can you let me know if it fixes the issue? * Thread Starter [dexterroona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dexterroona/) * (@dexterroona) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18833951) * yeah i can update in the morning and report back. * Thread Starter [dexterroona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dexterroona/) * (@dexterroona) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18834738) * hi im updated and im still seeing deleted where the comment was. * Plugin Contributor [Hudson Atwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hudson-atwell/) * (@hudson-atwell) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18834794) * I am thinking, unless I’ve missed something, it should be the cache you are seeing and by this time it should be fixed, considering the amount of time that has passed. Please try incognito again. And could you take a screenshot or describe your Radle caching settings? I am running a test with no caching on on 1.4.5 and I deleted one as admin and one as the original commenter and both are redacted on render inside the blog post.

If you are logged in you should be able to see additional controls that will allow you to hide/show comments. They do not even need to be deleted from reddit for you to hide/show them at the WordPress Radle admin level. Its been a few days, and you are on 1.4.5, can you check now? If that does not work can you share the blog post and the reddit post and also take a screenshot of your Radle caching settings in the radle settings page and share here? * Thread Starter [dexterroona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dexterroona/) * (@dexterroona) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18839303) * post – `https://actionfiguregeek.com/new-transformers-overgear-series-action- figures/` * Reddit post – `https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigureGeek/comments/1rcdzog/comment/ o706lgq/` * The only cache setting i have on radle is cache duration which is disabled * Boost and Cloudfare cache has been cleared. * But still no change though! * Plugin Contributor [Hudson Atwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hudson-atwell/) * (@hudson-atwell) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18839638) * I took a look at there is a comment showing as deleted for me.

Reddit also leaves the deleted comment as a placeholder with the deleted note. For this one, to hide it, you could use your admin tools when logged in to hide it manually and it should remove the thread, but leaving the [deleted] placeholder is the default behavior. What you could do as a permanent workaround is add this styling to your theme: * ```wp-block-code .radle-deleted-comment { display:none !important;} ``` Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdeleted-comments-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to reply to this topic. * ![](https://ps.w.org/radle-lite/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3237454) * [Radle Lite – A Reddit Comments Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/radle-lite/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/radle-lite/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/radle-lite/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/radle-lite/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/radle-lite/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/radle-lite/reviews/) * 14 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Hudson Atwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hudson-atwell/) * Last activity: [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-comments-2/#post-18839694) * Status: not resolved
