Statistics and the Dashboard widget

Overview

The Statistics tab shows how many comments your site has and where they are. The numbers come straight from the comments table: hiding comments on the Disable tab does not change them.


Overview numbers

  • Total — Active plus Pending: the comments a visitor can see or that are awaiting approval.
  • Active — approved comments.
  • Pending — comments waiting for moderation.
  • Spam and Trash — counted apart, since neither is a real comment yet.
  • Deleted — a running total of comments removed permanently with the Delete tab or WP-CLI.

By content type

One row per content type, one column per status. Use it to see where comments pile up before you disable or delete them.


Product reviews (PRO)

With WooCommerce active, product reviews get a section of their own with Active, Pending, Spam and Trash counts, so store reviews are not mixed with blog comments.


The Dashboard widget

The same headline numbers are available on the WordPress Dashboard in a small widget. Turn it on or off under General settings; closing it with its × turns the option off too.
