As such, it\u2019s a diverse area that needs to be nurtured.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-blog\/\">WordPress blog owner<\/a> and\/or post writer, it\u2019s your job to keep the comments section up to par. This will have many benefits for your website:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You ensure each comment (and therefore the conversation) is engaging and appropriate.<\/li>\n<li>It makes your blog appear active and, more importantly, it shows you\u2019re an active participant in the content you produce.<\/li>\n<li>You can protect your readers from spam or malicious links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can reap these benefits, and many more, by implementing various management tactics across your WordPress site. Let&#8217;s discuss a few of them now!<\/p>\n<h2>Three tips for effectively managing your WordPress comments section<\/h2>\n<p>The three tips we&#8217;ll introduce aren&#8217;t in any particular order. However, we do recommend implementing all three eventually if you currently don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Respond to reader comments promptly to prevent inactivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The comments section is a great place for readers to interact and ask questions. While you may want these interactions to mainly occur between readers, it\u2019s also a good idea to respond promptly to comments to prevent inactivity and keep the conversation going.<\/p>\n<p>A buildup of unanswered comments can make it seem as if your blog is inactive, which can reduce the number of readers who comment on and share your posts. If you don\u2019t have the time to respond to continuous comments, you can always disable them on existing posts. This will help you to get caught up and will prevent further buildup.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to disable comments on existing posts \u2013 individually, and in bulk. To disable comments on individual blog posts, navigate to <em>Posts<\/em> &gt; <em>All Posts<\/em> on the WordPress dashboard and click <em>Edit<\/em> under your chosen post:<\/p>\n<p><img data-opt-id=946468445  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19565\" style=\"-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Edit feature on the WordPress Posts page\" width=\"848\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:848\/h:263\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 848w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:300\/h:93\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:768\/h:238\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:50\/h:16\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 50w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:480\/h:149\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:794\/h:246\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 794w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:296\/h:92\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 296w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:390\/h:121\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 390w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:270\/h:84\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 270w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:848\/h:263\/q:mauto\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/edit-post-1.jpg 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Scroll to the bottom of the <em>Edit <\/em>page and, under <em>Discussion<\/em>, uncheck the box next to <em>Allow comments<\/em>.

By using a WordPress comments plugin, such as Comments Like Dislike, you can learn which comments are the most popular among your audience.
