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 );
