Can I change the number of comments deleted per batch?

Yes, there are two ways to do it.

  1. You can modify the number via a filter, like this:

    <?php
    function pw_bcsd_per_batch( $per_batch ) {

    $per_batch = 50;
    
    return $per_batch;
    

    }
    add_filter( ‘pw_bcpd_comments_per_batch’, ‘pw_bcsd_per_batch’ );

  2. You can modify it by adding a constant to your wp-config.php file:

    define( ‘PW_BCPD_PER_BATCH’, 50 );
