Hey everyone. I am a beginner at this guestbook so forgive me if this is a simple question. I get hammered with SPAM all the time and I know I can delete the entries one by one using Easy Admin. How do I delete multiple entries at the same time? Anyway to go into the database and select line items (like in Access or Excel) and just delete them?

You can delete them from the database using phpmyadmin.

Hi,

I was being spammed regularly like everybody, so i added human verification. It is ok for entries but now comments are being spammed. I added password protection for comments. That's ok for now. IP blocking does nothing to these suckers by the way.

But there are more than 500 spam entries scattered around, which is really hard to delete one by one.

I downloaded phpmy admin as u said but i have no clue how to use it.

Is there another way?

Most hosts provide PHPMYADMIN in cPanel.
