What is “Comment Alter ID”?

    Thanks for a great plugin. I just have one question that I’ve run into while doing some test imports. What exactly is the function of “Comment Alter ID”?

    I am manually creating a csv file from comments that were initially submitted through a non-wp source, so the fields aren’t necessarily the same.

    I understand from reading the documentation that we are supposed to leave the “Comment ID” blank because it will be created by WP during the import. But the alter ID seems related and I’m not sure what to put there if the comment doesn’t exist yet.

    Thanks!

    Hi @slouchyflower,

    The “Comment Alter ID” field is used in the case of migrating/importing the comments that have replies/responses. If you are having comments with replies then you may please provide a number data in the comment_alter_id column of the parent comment and specify that same data in the comment_parent column of the child comment.

    Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks!
