I’m not sure about the Open ID functionality in Intense Debate.

I have noticed that Disqus seems to be winning a lot of big clients- Read Burner, Plaxo, etc. I just wish their service was more reliable however.

Another observation: Intense Debate has been extremely responsive to my requests for support or information. Disqus not so much. That goes a long way in helping me make a decision.

Try this plug-in:

Thanks for the info. I’ll check out those links.

From what I’m gathering, Disqus has the buzz, but Intense Debate is a little more established.

Anyone agree? Disagree? Have more to add?

Oh bless your heart! That worked.

Thank you so very much for your help. I can’t even begin to tell you how much this problem was bothering me. If nothing else, it made me want to learn SQL in order to fix it.

I know I can’t buy you a beer seeing that you’re underage, but if you ever need a favor, just let me know.

Thank you so much for the code. I did exactly what you said. I received a message that the code had executed “successful”, but the comment counts still are not displaying correctly.

Any other ideas?

I’m really desperate for someone who know SQL and WP to help me with this. I’ll even buy you a beer!

Just curious if anyone had figured anything out with this. Thanks!

Yikes! Posted this in the wrong area of the forum by mistake. Should I close this thread and repost over there?

I’m closing this thread and opening one with a more descriptive title since I believe this problem can be fixed via MySQL.

In Matt’s blog post about WP 2.5, he talks about “dashboard widgets”:

I don’t know if you can customize it even more than this, but I’ve noticed little “edit” links in each of the main sections of the dashboard. If you click them, you can edit the display settings and the feed that’s shown.

I’ve been thinking about this a bit more.

I’m wondering if there are any MySQL gurus out there who would know if the comments count can be corrected through a SQL query of something.

If so, what would the command be and how would I enter it? I access my WP database using phpMyAdmin 2.9.1.1. Forgive me for being such a newb here, but I don’t know much about SQL.

As I said before, the comments are all still there. If a new comment is left on post, the comment count is updated correctly. It just shows zero until that happens. In browsing my WP database, I noticed the wp_posts table has a comment_count field. Currently it has the value of 0 for all the posts (except those which have received comments after the WP 2.5 upgrade).

Thanks in advance for your help. It’s really appreciated.
