Comment Count not appearing

  • For posts that had comments before the upgrade, the front page says how many a post has. Posts with comments after the upgrade are not “refreshing” the count. If you look at just the post (vs the front page), the comments appear but are not in the count. I did load in the SK2-WP2Compatibility 1.0 plugin but they are still not appearing.

    blog: https://paulaoffutt.com/blog/

    code used to display count:

    Comments: < ?php wp_link_pages(); ?>< a href="< ?php comments_link(); ?>" title="link to the comments for < ?php the_title(); ?>">< ?php comments_number('0', '1','% ','% '); ?> so far | Gotta Comment?< /a>

  • Did you also update your SK version to 2.1? The plugin only works with the new version.

    I downloaded/installed what I thought was the most recent SK2 but it is still the 2.0. (2.0 Final r4) Where can I find this v2.1?? I’ve downloaded the zip file from Dr. Dave’s site and from the WordPress Plugins Database. They are both 2.0

    sorry, I forgot to post a link to it.

    It’s 2.1 beta.

    Dang. Must be something else. It is still not appearing. But thanks for the update link!

    I disabled then enabled the WP2Compatability plugin, deactivated/activated the SK2 plugin.

    AHA!

    I did a test post and made two test comments to it.

    Those two comments show up in the count. But the other post, which also has two comments, still do not. But that’s fine. I can deal with that.

    Wee-erd.

    Thank you for your help!

    holyroller, this may provide one possible explanation (and solution), depending on how you upgraded:

    Sounds like something else to look at.

    If I read that right, that means if, say, the db value is 52, I set it to a number lower than 52?

    I’m going to set this aside until tomorrow. There comes a point where it isn’t safe to continue poking at stuff, ya know?

    “If I read that right, that means if, say, the db value is 52, I set it to a number lower than 52?“

    Exactly. Though it will be more like 3308.

    “There comes a point where it isn’t safe to continue poking at stuff, ya know?“

    Oh yes, how I do know that.

    I could not find SK 2.1 Beta. Its still 2.0 R4 final on that page.

    WP2Compatability plugin. I installed this. Still no change in the comments number error.

    Anyone got other ideas?:)

    ### found the beta! ##

    Okay, still no change. Is this a bug in WP2.0 then?

    Must be – I’m having the same problem, before and after upgrading SK 2 to 2.1 beta.

    Actually, almost the same problem but not quite. My pre-upgrade entries have a comment count, but it’s stuck at the number of comments prior to the upgrade.

    have you tried to run all your comments through the compatibility plugin. I’ve heard that doing that will count them for you.
    Go to the SK admin page, go to “approved comments”.
    Select them all and under “Filter” select the compatibility plugin and run the comments through there.
