Reply count off by one after deleting a reply

[deleted] 2 months 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.
