removing spam comments from mySQL db / Spam protection for WP 1.5?
-
hi there.
I regularly delete thousands of spam comments from my wordpress blog using the wp-admin page. Recently there are so many that i have used phpMyAdmin to flush them out in bulk.
However, when i backup the mySQL database it appears that all those spam comment are still contained in the database file – why does this happen? And more importantly how can i delete them for good?
I have a very bloated mSQL db file as a result – over 15Mb
Secondly since im running such and old install any recommendations on spam filters? Askimet is not compatible with this version im using.
thanks so much in advance,
paul
