Old Comment Cleaner is a WordPress plugin that allows you to clean old comment data based on user-defined settings. You can specify the age of comments to clean which will replace email addresses and names, and delete author URLs associated with the comments.

  • Email addresses will be replaced with “[email protected]”.
  • Names will be replaced with “Anonymous Guest”.
  • Website URLs will be replaced with an empty string.
