 * I see you’ve added this for 4.4:
 *     ```
       global $post;
       // Quick fix: $post no more available since WordPress 4.4
       if ( is_null( $post ) )  {
       		global $wpdb;
       		$_postid = $wpdb->last_result[0]->ID;
       } else {
       		$_postid = $post->ID;
       }
       ```
   
 * I think this might be more reliable instead of using $wpdb:
 * `$_postid = $commentdata['comment_post_ID']`
 * The post ID related to that comment should already be available in the $commentdata
   array. 🙂
 * I added this as a patch initially, which fixed the 4.4 issues, but then downloaded
   your patch and it stopped working again. So this might be more reliable for other
   people as well.
 * Thanks!
