Anonymize Comment IP Addresses After 60 Days
Once a day, shortens the stored IP address of approved comments older than 60 days, so you keep recent IPs for spam handling without holding personal data forever.

Snippets for privacy and cookies: load tracking only after consent, remove IP addresses, tidy personal data and add privacy notices. For site owners working toward GDPR and similar privacy rules.
Anonymize the Comments of Deleted Users
When a user account is deleted, keeps their comments but replaces the name with "Former member" and removes the email address, website and IP address stored with them.
Delete Comments Left Unmoderated for 90 Days
Once a day, permanently deletes comments that have been waiting in the moderation queue for more than 90 days, along with the names, emails and IP addresses they contain.
Delete Spam Comments Older Than 30 Days
Permanently removes comments marked as spam once they are older than 30 days, so spammers' names, emails and IP addresses do not pile up in your database.
Don't Send Guest Commenters' Emails to Gravatar
Shows a built-in placeholder avatar for comments from visitors without an account, so their hashed email address is never sent to Gravatar, while registered users keep their Gravatar picture.
Don't Store Commenters' Browser Details
Stops WordPress from saving each commenter's browser user agent string with their comment, which is rarely needed and counts as personal data.
Hide Commenter Email Addresses From Authors and Contributors
Hides commenters' email addresses in the comment lists of the dashboard for users who are not moderators, so authors can reply to comments without seeing readers' personal email addresses.
Hide Commenter IP Addresses From Non-Administrators
Hides commenters' IP addresses in the Comments screens for editors, moderators and authors, so only administrators can see this personal data.
Include Custom Comment Fields in Privacy Exports and Erasures
Adds extra comment fields stored as comment meta (such as a phone number or rating) to personal data exports, and removes them during erasure requests.
Remember Commenters' Details for 30 Days Instead of a Year
Shortens how long the cookies that remember a commenter's name, email and website last, from WordPress's default of one year to 30 days.
Remove IP Addresses From Comment Notification Emails
Strips commenters' IP addresses and host names from the new comment and moderation emails WordPress sends to authors and administrators, so personal data does not pile up in inboxes.
Store Only Shortened IP Addresses for Comments
Saves commenters' IP addresses with the last part removed (for example 203.0.113.0), which is still enough for spam checks but no longer identifies a person.
