# “hello world” comments

 * I had a full up and running verison of WP 2.0.1, and I deleted the default hello
   world post. Not sure what happened, but after I did, the Home tab and the header
   link stopped working they kept saying that the [http://www.wolf-moon.net/wordpress/wordpress](http://www.wolf-moon.net/wordpress/wordpress)
   directory was not found. I tried to do a db restore adn well, it fubar’d the 
   site, so I just did a complete reinstall.
 * What I have now, is I edited the main hello world post so that I didn’t take 
   the risk of fubar’ing the site again, but it says there are 1 comment. I click
   it, and there are 0 comments. I go to the admin page to look at comments, and
   there are none. I deleted the default comment. How can I get the comment to refresh
   and show 0 for that post?
 * You can see what I mean by goin to my site at [http://www.wolf-moon.net](http://www.wolf-moon.net)
   and looking at the very bottom post.
 * Thanks.

 * Use phpmyadmin and empty the table for the comments in the DB.

 * I logged into the database using phpmyadmin, and went to the wp_comments and 
   the browse tab was empty.. showing no comments. I did a simple test comment to
   my taurus post, and when I clicked the wp_comments in the db, the browse tab 
   was selectable, and only the test comment was in it. so that is not going to 
   do it. Anyone with any other options?
 * I wouldn’t mind just deleting the post all together, but last time I did, it 
   hosed the site, and I really don’t want to redo the site again.. even if there
   is not much on it right now.

 * when you deleted the post the first time, was it the only post on the site? and
   did you do anything else about the same time?
 * the reason i ask is because i’ve deleted “hello world” before and never had a
   problem – as long as there was another post in there.
 * in reality – is that ONE post with that ONE comment thing saying there’s a comment
   when there isn’t one REALLY a huge deal?

 * It’s not a huge deal no.. was just wondering if there was a way to get rid of
   it And no, before the reinstall, it was not the only post when I deleted the 
   Hello world one.

 * I just deleted the post and the home and link url are still working.. so I’ll
   just give up.
