If you are using the Sparm Karma plugin, be sure to go get the latest/greatest version. What you describe is a common symptom of the older version with 2.x.
I did upgarde to the latest version of Spam Karma. Unfortunately, it allows comments from this troll we have placed in the blacklist. So I had to revert back to the older SK version. Any suggestions how I can work this out?
You need to be on the latest version of SK. It isn’t really optional. From there, you might consider contacting the author (I think he has forums?) about your other issue.
I found out there’s actually a Spam Karma plugin that fixes this issue for those like me who haven’t upgraded to SK’s latest version. Hopefully, this works. Thanks for the help.
I decided to download and install the latest SK version, but the number of comments still isn’t properly displayed.
