Since a few times, this really great plugin was failing to move comments.
It was returning the error Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function wpdb::prepare()
The fix is really simple. Go to your WordPress Dashboard, under the menu “Plugins”, select the “Plugin Editor”. Next, top-right, select “plugin to edit:” = “Move WordPress Comment” and click “Select”.
Go to line 63 (or search for “prepare”). This methods requires 2 parameters. So, in the where clauses of the SQL Update statements, replace the variables by %s and move the variables into a second parameters.
It should result into this:
// move to different post
if ( $postID != $oldpostID ) {
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->comments SET comment_post_ID=$postID WHERE comment_ID=%s;", "$commentID") );
// Change post count
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET comment_count=comment_count+1 WHERE ID=%s;", "$postID" ) );
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET comment_count=comment_count-1 WHERE ID=%s;", "$oldpostID" ) );
}
// move to different parent
if ( $parentID != $commentID ) {
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->comments SET comment_parent=$parentID WHERE comment_ID=%s;", "$commentID" ) );
}This is about the best ‘move comment’ plugin I’ve yet to find but it isn’t without bugs and compatibility issues, unfortunately.
Wondering whether anyone might be willing to update and maintain it since original author seems to be MIA?
]]>Does not seem to be working in my site (WordPress 3.5). I’m suspecting that is a compatibility issue.

Your attempt to bulk modify comments has failed.

]]>On WordPress 3.3.1 this plugin works when using the front end UI (the form that appears bellow each comment), but not when using the dashboard.
This is a problem because I would like to move comments before they are approved and appear on the site.
This was brought up a while back, but no solution was forthcoming.
If there is no fix for this can anyone recommend a plugin that works fully in 3.3.1 and allows admins to move comments from one post to another.
Thanks

]]>Move WordPress Comments plugin does not work on only site I’ve tried it (BGC) – tries to move bulk comments instead of just one and fails. Perhaps because of numerous other plugins installed on this site. Details page says “Compatible up to: 2.9.2” Doh!
Tried it in IE8 and either Chrome or FF.

]]>From the page, I can move comments inline below the posts, but if I try to edit them in the dashboard, no go.

]]>Using a fresh multi-site install of the default theme, network activated. Form not appearing in the comments.
Note: this appears to work fine so long as the plugin is not network activated.
