Had the same problem – Comments weren’t counting. There might be several posted comments and it would show them but say at the top “no responses for…” And olderposts with new comments showed the old count.
I did the procedure – turned off Spam Karma and then went in and edited the comments of at least one from each post. It brought the count back.
I need Spam Karma – it cought 55 spam comments this week.
Image ones are hard to install, what should I do? 0 I’ll check the Spam Karma site. I don’t know If I can go edit the database..
