Title: CleanMod – AI Comment Moderation Author: cleanmod Published: دسامبر 10, 2025 Last modified: دسامبر 10, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/cleanmod/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=3416527) # CleanMod – AI Comment Moderation By [cleanmod](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cleanmod/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/cleanmod.0.1.0.zip) * [Details](https://azb.wordpress.org/plugins/cleanmod/#description) * [Reviews](https://azb.wordpress.org/plugins/cleanmod/#reviews) * [Installation](https://azb.wordpress.org/plugins/cleanmod/#installation) * [Development](https://azb.wordpress.org/plugins/cleanmod/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cleanmod/) ## Description CleanMod WordPress Plugin integrates CleanMod AI comment moderation to automatically detect and handle toxic comments on your WordPress site. #### Features * **Automatic Moderation**: New comments are automatically sent to CleanMod’s moderation API * **Flexible Behavior**: Configure how flagged and blocked comments are handled * **Fail-Safe**: Comments still work even if the API is unavailable * **Native WordPress Integration**: Works with WordPress’s built-in comment system #### How It Works 1. When a new comment is submitted, the plugin intercepts it using WordPress’s `pre_comment_approved` filter 2. The comment text is sent to CleanMod’s `/api/v1/moderate` endpoint 3. Based on the `decision` returned (`allow`, `flag`, or `block`), the comment status is adjusted according to your settings 4. If the API is unavailable, comments proceed normally (fail-open policy) ### External Services This plugin relies on the CleanMod moderation service (https://cleanmod.dev) to analyze and moderate comments. When a new comment is submitted on your WordPress site, the comment text is sent to CleanMod’s API for moderation analysis. **Service Provider:** [CleanMod](https://cleanmod.dev) **Terms of Use:** [https://cleanmod.dev/terms](https://cleanmod.dev/terms) **Privacy Policy:** [https://cleanmod.dev/privacy](https://cleanmod.dev/privacy) By using this plugin, you acknowledge that comment data will be transmitted to CleanMod’s servers for moderation purposes. By default, CleanMod saves only the comment hash and not the text itself. Please review CleanMod’s terms of use and privacy policy to understand how your data is handled. ### Configuration #### API Key Get your API key from the [CleanMod dashboard](https://cleanmod.dev/dashboard/api-keys). 1. Navigate to `Settings CleanMod` in WordPress admin 2. Enter your CleanMod API key 3. Enable the plugin 4. Configure moderation behavior #### Moderation Behavior **When decision is “flag”:** * **No change**: Comment passes through normally (respects WordPress default settings) * **Hold for moderation**: Comment is held pending manual review **When decision is “block”:** * **Hold for moderation**: Comment is held pending manual review * **Mark as spam**: Comment is automatically marked as spam ### Requirements * WordPress 5.0 or higher * PHP 7.4 or higher * Valid CleanMod API key ## Installation 1. Upload the `cleanmod` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Go to `Settings CleanMod` to configure your API key ## FAQ ### Does this replace WordPress’s built-in moderation? No. CleanMod adds an extra safety net on top of your existing moderation rules. ### What happens if the CleanMod API is unavailable? The plugin uses a fail-open policy. If the API is unavailable, comments will proceed normally without CleanMod moderation. ### Does this work with comment form plugins? This MVP version works with native WordPress comments only. Support for Contact Form 7, WPForms, and WooCommerce reviews may be added in future versions. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0fd9b4b23e55c4602c1e1348dde10f4c335163ce87ca7c60431c1a8d7e35228a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple, effective comment moderation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-effective-comment-moderation/)󠁿 [szadok](https://profiles.wordpress.org/szadok/) دسامبر 10, 2025 Installed CleanMod to deal with increasingly toxic and spammy comments and was pleasantly surprised. Setup took just a few seconds: added the API key, enabled it, and it started working immediately. What I like is that it doesn’t try to replace WordPress moderation rules, just adds an extra layer using AI. Flagged comments go to moderation, really bad ones to spam, and normal comments pass through.Feels lightweight, fast, and well thought out. Looking forward to seeing where this plugin goes.
