Bulk handle comments (reviews)

[BudgetBargains]

Keep in mind when you grow your shop and get comments for products, this plugin (or wordpress in general) cannot handle them in masses if you want later for example remove them in bulk. I have now situation where i want to remove 8000 comments. Maximum amount of comments the system is capable to handle is 180. So had to do the "move to trash" manually 44 times. And after they are in trash, again "move permanently" 44 times.

Edit: Actually once theyre finally in trash, "empty trash" performs with one click (though it takes forever)

Are you speaking of reviews imported from AliExpress? I usually import 20 reviews per product and im good. No need to delete any.

I have done this too manually a lot, but i found out i can delete these comments via the database.
Go into your PhpMyAdmin and look for comments database. Then go to actions and truncate (clean) it.
Don't forget to clean the commentmeta database also, i think these are the images attached to the reviews.
