This was very helpful, and worked perfectly – thanks!

Was surprised (but relieved) it still worked even on WP 3.1!

Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion Brian. I added a note about changing the ‘wp_’ prefix in case it has been customized. Glad that you find the script useful!

Thanks so much for the script!

My comment count problem was caused when I disabled Disqus. I found a duplicate copy of every single comment I had and since I had hundreds, deleting them manually was tedious.

So I ran a query to mass delete an ID range from phpMyAdmin. Unfortunately, while the comments are gone, the count was incorrect.

Script works perfectly. But I suggest adding somewhere telling users to change the wp_ part to whatever their table prefix is.

Thanks again,
Brian

Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe it’s an issue with the latest WordPress version that the comment approval status is needed.

I just migrated an old server and am running an older version of WordPress. I deleted all the spam comments from the database and then noticed the comment count was off. Your script fixed the problem, but initially it set the comment count to 0 for every post as it required ‘AND comment_approved = 1′ in one of the MySQL queries. Once I’d removed the requirement it recounted perfectly. Thanks!
