In reply to: [Show All Comments] Cannot seem to work out date sortNot really too much more to say. I don’t have any issues with “cecent-comments” plugin on this issue, where I have something mostly working. However, there are real features available from this plug-in, e.g. holding on to threading, pagination of commnents, presentation of dates, etc. that would probably cause me to rate this plugin higher for my purposes. However, I need to figure out this date sorting issue.
Will probably give this a week to see what response I get before writing a review.

In reply to: [WP Experience API] customizingWould the author of this plug-in be interested in taking on paid work for further customizations? Happy, if whatever I pay for, is then simply applied to plug-in updates, ignored, given away for free, set-up as “Pro” version to be used by author, or whatever the developer might prefer.

In reply to: [amr users] Cannot Activate Descending Sort on Registration DateAll noted, thanks for the explanation and education on this one. Interesting ‘formatting hack’ by WordPress developers. Suppose only issue then is that the sort on the ‘added’ absolute-formatted date doesn’t seem to work, at least from what I can see.
And to be honest, searching on this message thread and understanding what’s going on, ameliorates about 80% of the issue, making this a pretty low priority item.

In reply to: [amr users] Cannot Activate Descending Sort on Registration DateSorry, bit confusing in my comment I think, as there are two ‘problems’ actually I’m reporting.
The first is that I can’t get the (absolute date value) registered date to sort with most recent registrants at top at all.
The second is that the “Registered days ago”, which means that ‘big numbers’ are early registrants, seems to get recent registrants at top when set to descending order. This is what I was describing as counter-intuitive, not your example using absolute dates.
Hope that helps clarify things from how I see them.

In reply to: [amr users] Including User ID Disrupts ReportsDon’t blame the low priority on this, given ability to get/see IDs with mouse float-over on edit link.

In reply to: [Collapsing Categories] Auto-expandI’m in the same boat, i.e. can’t get this feature to work presuming it’s supposed to do what we’ve both guessed at. Will let you know if I come up with anything on this.

In reply to: [amr users] Cannot Activate Descending Sort on Registration DateUsing the “Registered days ago” field does work, but interestingly, you need to tick the box to “descending order” to get most recently registered users at top, which seems (at best) counter-intuitive. In any event, at least something works via this route, so not the worst potential bug in the world.

In reply to: [amr users] Inaccurate Comments Countmany thanks for that. I’ll advise re: I see any issues that might be connected to my hack of that one statement. Perhaps rationale was to sub-deivide the UserID = 0 entries by email address? Not sure if there would be one, though, for unregistered users. If the case, perhaps a conditional on this one circumstance — God knows.
Excellent support and excellent plugin. Very helpful in upgrading user management short of moving to a CRM system, which can be a bit overblown for some purposes.

In reply to: [amr users] Inaccurate Comments CountJust as a test / follow-up, I hacked out the second argument of the GROUP BY element, so just groups by User ID, and this seems to fix count problem (in my case) — on first blush, not tested much yet. Curious as to rationale for the secondary grouping and where I’m likely to hit problems with that hack.

P.S. btw, I’m completely clueless on WordPress, PHP, etc (set up my first website about 8 weeks ago), but how in God’s name to you developers set yourself up to find code strings across multiple files — I mean brutal (for me) in this instance to find that your quoted statement was in your ameta-list.php file. How do you guys do this properly — I can’t seem to find any plugins for ‘search across multiple files’ in the Admin area.

In reply to: [amr users] Inaccurate Comments CountAnmari, many thanks for this guidance. Useful possibilities. I’ve just (sort of accidentally) hit on a lead to sorting this out / understanding what might be going on — perhaps need to directly clean some things up in database, though concerned about this behavior going forward for other users . . . so here’s what I’ve figured out since my first post.
This particular user changed his email in the course of matters, from a .org extension to a .com extension.
He’s written 39 total comments, they are all showing as User ID = 10, the most recent 10 of which are showing his email as .com, and these are (apparently) not being counted. If I simply go to comment (and remember they are all User ID = 10, not 0s) and change email address for author of comment (back) to the .org, this then shows up in the count. So there definitely seems to be some linkage.
It seems like some focus / use of the email address needing to match some sort of ‘original email’ address sitting in the comments table for purposes of this counting (or it uses the first / earliest comment to instance of email address)?
Is that consistent with behavior you might expect and/or is there something in this that should be amended perhaps in the code? I’m not a PHP guy, but is the second argument in the GROUP BY statement, by comment_author_email appropriate? Shouldn’t we simply be getting counts for a given user_ID, which should be unique, not a ‘shared persona’, if that makes sense?

In reply to: [amr users] Inaccurate Comments CountSorry, follow-up on my own post. Clearly Comments and Replies are different data types, and I now see that the Reply count (for each of three users) matches up. Hence, only issue is that the Comments Count for User 1 is off by 10.

In reply to: [amr users] strange behaviour when listing user idYeah, I hit this bug as well. I think I can work around it, once I learn behavior, but worth trying to sort out on some upgrade I expect.
