No Comment After Commenting

Hm, very interesting. Does it do this even when you use the Default Theme?

No, seems to be working fine here. Might want to post the exact code you are using to diplay in the header.

Yes it does. It’s still there. No responses.

Oh, and just in case. My blog is at https://www.kamigoroshi.net. The posts have comments. It just isn’t saying that it has comments.

Kamigoroshi means that, whenever a comment is left on a post, it still displays “Say Something” rather than “‘x’ People Had Something To Say”, like it does on all of the blog’s pre-2.0b-upgrade posts.

Yup and all other posts that have already been commented doesn’t update their number to correspond to the number of comments in the post. Example:

https://www.kamigoroshi.net/archive/2005/11/16/899#comments

It has 6 comments but reads 5. Happened after the Beta-1 install.

Are you using wp-comments-post.php that comes with the beta? Any comment related plugins installed? Comment counts are now stored in the DB rather than be generated on the fly each time. If the comment creation API is being circumvented, the comment counts will not increment.

I don’t know if I’m using the wp-comments-post.php from the beta. I uploaded everything in the zip file and it’s all there in the wordpress directory. All I know is that the call functions comments_popup_links() and comments_numbers() wouldn’t have changed anything and they are still being used in the template.

I have a lot of comment related plugins like Paged Comment Editing and Recent Comments List which need to access the Comment DB directly. The other plugins can be found here.

Try this:

1. Disable all comment-related plugins.

2. Make a test comment.

3. Does the comment count increase as it should?

Nope. All comment related plugins disabled and commented under Kubrick Theme just in case it’s a theme problem. Comment count doesn’t increase and nothing changes.

I did find the same problem here in the trac, but it doesn’t state what the fix is. Damn…so close to the answer.

Now my comment link and comment number has disappeared.

Do you have Spam Karma 2? Or any other comment Plug-In? Are you sure, that you deactivated all Comment-Plug-Ins?

It appears there must be some plugin conflict as mine show fine. On the front page “Comments (2)” and on the permalink page “2 Comments”

I don’t think it was a plugin conflict. I seriously shut off all comment plugins and even changed themes to be careful. It turns out that the comment_count table isn’t updated for some reason. I can’t figure out what it is.

So it is working now. ;-P

No. The number of comments on my recent posts are there because I added them manually to the comment_count table. Surprisingly when I do that, it would work normally and add any additional comment increment for that post. But not for the other posts.
