Broken Spam Check Que
-
Someone removed the “Empty Spam” button from the bottom of the Check Spam queue thing on the classic dashboard – used to be I could page down the list – check the messages for any false positives, then when at the bottom just click on the “Empty Spam” – now I NEED TO PAGE ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO THE TOP OF THE STINKING PAGE –
the change was obviously done by someone that does not have a web site and has never had to deal with 50 to 100 comments in the queue
Please put the button back where it MAKES SENSE, at the bottom of the queue and don’t let that person change anything else ever again
thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I used to be able to click the “Empty Trash” button at the bottom of the list of posts to be trashed, the same with the Spam comments. Now they have been removed.

I’m still seeing the Check Spam button on every page except the last page of comments, when I’m in the All Comments page of the WP Admin dashboard.
Win7Pro 64-bit/Chrome latest.

Jennifer, we are talking about something else. It’s the “Empty Trash” and “Empty Spam” buttons that have been removed from the bottom of the list of trash/spam comments.
WP can remove the “Check Spam” button on other pages as I’ve never used it.

I do scan the comments that Akismet sorts out as probably bad – not many mistakes are made – but some false positives on another site that I Admin that I have had to fish out comments from their friends

Understood. I suppose I’m a very casual blogger because i don’t devote much time to viewing spam or stats for that matter. When it comes to spam I click “empty spam” after scanning, and when it comes to stats I don’t care what they are.

Yes, I mentioned that, thanks.
I used to be able to click the “Empty Trash” button at the bottom of the list of posts to be trashed
In my WP Admin Dashboard>Posts>All Posts>Trash the “Empty Trash” button still appears at the bottom of the page. On what screen is it missing
the same with the Spam comments
In my WP Admin Dashboard>Comments>Spam there is no spam, so I cannot check the missing button. :)

Still no bottom button, and I have a few spam comments – one of which is the real long one that looks like an automated script went way wrong and runs for several screens when I page down

Sorry Jennifer, we were typing at the same time earlier today so I didn’t see your comment.
Here’s a screenshot showing no button at the bottom, only at the top. It’s the Spam Folder page.

However, the Pending Comments folder still doesn’t have the Bulk Edit menu at the bottom like it used to have.

There is a Check Spam button only, which I’ve never used.

@ captnmike – Are you still unable to see the “Empty Spam” button at the bottom? I can see it fine on my end.

Someone snuck in the middle of the night and put it back a day or so back – so it is where it should be now

@dandelionsalad: I understand that the placement is important to you, so we’ll keep that in mind for a future update! :)
