Stopped working after update to WP 5.7

    I periodically use Copy/Move Comments because my students sometimes post their HW responses in the wrong place. I mention this because it means that I can attest to using the plugin about once every week or two.

    As of today, a few days after updating to WP 5.7, here’s the behavior I’m seeing: after filling in which post/page I want to move a comment from, I get a list of comments I can move. I check off the comment I want to move, then select a target post. All that works just fine. But when I click the “Perform Action” button, nothing happens.

    I solved by deleting plugin.

    Select the db in your phpmyadmin, and type the query:

    UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_post_ID = 1600 WHERE comment_post_ID = 1340

    1600 = id of new post
    1340 = id of new old post

    comments counts will be auto-updated after 1 comment added

    I can confirm this plugin completely stopped working after upgrading to WP 5.7

    Select the db in your phpmyadmin, and type the query:

    UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_post_ID = 1600 WHERE comment_post_ID = 1340

    1600 = id of new post
    1340 = id of new old post

    However this worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

    @gsw1011 , Am I right in thinking that your phpmyadmin script will move ALL comments from post 1340 to post 1600?

    What if I want to move just ONE comment between those two posts? For the sake of example, let’s say the comment is # 7551. Can you tell me what to enter in phpmyadmin in that case?

    Just manually replace the old post with new post in the comments table.

    Find the comment you want move in wp_comments and edit the comment_post_id
