comment count zero after import

I wonder this to. The problem is obviosly that some values are left out in the db. :f Got the same problems but with local avatars not being set to new ones for old users etc.

Some re-count feature would fix it.

+1 on this one. I have a blog I support where I’m seeing this.

I had this problem today, too, and found the solution at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/265655

Here is the solution:

Add this code to your Theme’s functions.php file…

add_filter('get_comments_number', 'comment_count', 0);
function comment_count( $count ) {
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
global $id;
$comments_by_type = &separate_comments(get_comments('status=approve&post_id=' . $id));
return count($comments_by_type['comment']);
} else {
return $count;
}
}

All fixed!

It’s still not working for me! ??

Thank you Trisha! It worked to the extend that my posts now show the correct comment count. However, my archives still don’t for those posts that I imported, see here https://www.gipsylife.com/archives/. If you expand all posts you can see that everything after May 2009 shows a (0) count even though there are comments. I guess this now is a problem with the plug-in *sigh*. Wish I was more technical!

Hi trishacupra, at which part in the functions.php file do I insert that code? When I pasted this code on the functions.php (removing everything that was in there first), it turns into an error message, even my blog only displays that error message. Please help? Thanks!

Got it!

Thanks trishacupra! it works!
