Reply count off by one after deleting a reply

Jamal Reed Jamal Reed 4 weeks ago Resolved

Steps to reproduce: create a topic with three replies, delete one. The space listing still shows three replies on the topic.

It corrects itself after running wp jetonomy recount, so it looks like the denormalized counter isn't decremented on delete. WordPress 6.9, single site.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

The importer preserves original dates and maps forums to spaces. Always run with --dry-run first to preview counts, take a database backup, then run the real import. It batches large datasets so timeouts are not a concern.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.
