Remotely add terms to the WordPress Disallowed Comment Keys field to manage spam.
As of April 2026, Comment Blacklist Manager is a WordPress spam plugin with 600 active installations and a 4.4/5 rating from 5 reviews. It has been downloaded 8.3K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 5.6+ and PHP 7.0+. Available on WordPress.org since 2014. Top alternative: Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection.
Comment Blacklist Manager retrieves a list of terms from a remote source and updates the disallowed_keys setting in WordPress. The plugin will automatically fetch a list of terms on a regular schedule and update the contents of the “Disallowed Comment Keys” field. Terms added manually via the “Local Blacklist” field will be retained during the scheduled updates. Terms added manually to the “Excluded Terms” field will be removed from the list.
The default list of terms is fetched from a GitHub repository maintained by Grant Hutchinson.
