Option to delete comments in bulk?

[jhaze]

Hey all -

A ton of spam comments have accumulated on an old blog post... I'm deleting each comment individually, but I was wondering if there is an option in Admin to delete in bulk?

Thanks in advance!

There is! It’s called Batch Processing.  This doc may help: https://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Forums/Use-batch-processing-to-act-on-multiple-threads-or-posts-a...

This is a great resource, thanks @CarolineS !

I'm running into an issue, though. I turned on batch processing on the blog in question. When I attempt to click 'Check All' under article options, no action is taken

Is there a feature/functionality I need to turn on in Community Admin?

Thanks!

Hi! My guess is that your theme is somehow hiding the checkboxes. Not quite
sure how to help you fix that, but that’s my best guess at the issue.

Thanks so much for the guidance, @CarolineS .... I've reached out to Lithium Support, I'm hoping they can figure something out. In addition, someone internal is looking into this as well! 

In the meantime, I'm just going to dread deleting each comment individually... 1...by... 1.....(lol)

Ugh good luck! Put on a good tv show (maybe one you’ve seen before so you can half-watch) and go click click click click click.....
