PSA for people with #Wordpress blogs: do you know that you can turn off comments on old posts?

In the last few months I have noticed a significant uptick in spammy comments on my Wordpress blogs (I have 4).

Well there is a way to remedy all that: you can simply turn off comments on old blog posts by going to:

Settings -> Discussion -> and checking "Automatically close comments on old posts"

(You can even determine the "oldness" of posts, for example, older than 7 days, 14 days... anything you'd like)

Enabling this made all the difference for me. I could not recommend it more.

End of my PSA 🤗

Have a great day everyone!
