Hi all,
a very tricky question/problem .. well at least for me - allready gave up troubleshooting as i'm kinda lost allready ...
problem :
the comment count shown on the /wp-admin/edit-comments.php is not shown correctly.Normally it should show the correct comments for the corresponding posts. in my case the COMPLETE COMMENT COUNT of the table wp_comments WITHOUT trackbacks/pingbacks is shown.
within the edit post view the comment count is completely fine
This also happens with ALL PLUGINS disabled.
i checked the wp-admin/includes/template.php and found out that comments_number is called to get this count. this function calls get_comments_number which returns $count - i echoed the $count value and it was correct there. as soon as it passes the apply_filter to get back to comments_numer the value is messed up with the full comments count (without trackback/pingback) from the wp_comments table.
scary eh?
really - no clue whats going on here - any suggestion will do...
