How To Approve Or Delete Comments On Your Shopify Blog

From the main dashboard, you need to click on the ‘Online Store’ and then when the new options appear, you should choose ‘Blog Post’ to get directed to the following steps to approve/remove comments.

In the next page, you will find an option that reads, ‘Manage Comments’. Click on this option and you will be taken to the comments management options.

When you’re on the ‘Manage Comments’ page, you need to find the ‘Comment’ section. This is where all the pending comments are located. Next to each of the comments waiting for moderation there are two options. One of them is an option that reads ‘Approve’. Click on this one if you want to show the comment on the blog post. Click on the trash bin symbol if you want to delete the comment from your site. Be warned, you cannot undo the deletion of the comment once you’ve done it.

If you believe the comment is also a spam comment, you can also flag it. This will mark the user as a potential spammer and this can help protect your site in the future. This can also be done when the blog posts have had spam posts published on them previously.

Spam posts often have a high number of links on them or a poor amount of content with just one link. To help protect you, it’s best to write a note on your terms and conditions page that you don’t accept spam comments and you have the right to moderate, change and remove any comments as you wish.
