How to undo a Wordpress spam comment
Just the other day I was deleting a few Wordpress comments due to their spammy nature. Unfortunately I marked a very genuine comment as spam and didn’t immediately see a way to recover it. A quick Google search suggested installing myPHPadmin and seeing if I could edit a value in the comment tables, or something similar. However I have found such an easier method…
Firstly, go to your Comments page and then click on the ‘Approved’ link highlighted in the image below.
This will show all of the comments you’ve approved to be shown on your site. What you need to do is go to the address bar in the browser you’re using. It should look something like the image below.
Change the end of the URL so it reads comment_status=spam – see the image below.
Changing the URL and hitting Enter will show you all of the comments that have been marked as spam. Simply select the comment that was accidentally marked as spam and click Approve. The comment will be removed from spam and approved to be shown as one of the comments on your site. Easy as that.
