Reply count off by one after deleting a reply

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.

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

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

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