In reply to: Says No comments When there are commentsI found the problem, it <i>was</i> SK2.
I had Spam Karma 2.0 Final r2 installed. While it was activated, the database isn’t updated properly, specifically wp_posts in the comment_count category.
The fix seems to be to make sure that you are using Spam Karma version: 2.2 r3.
once you have installed the new version, future comments will be OK, <b>but posts with old comments need to be fixed</b>. There are two ways I know of doing this.
1) go into the database and do it by hand (yes, that’s slow and you do need to know how to stumble around in mySQLadmin
or
2) go to every post that has the wrong comment count, and add a comment. When the new SK2 approves it, the total proper count will be corrected. You could then erase that comment, count should then decrement OK.
yea, both of those options suck. Sorry, that’s the best I can do. Oh and I really wish that Dr. Dave would splash this all over his home page. I have months of posts that I now need to fix by hand.

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/75323no easy way I know of, but you could add a comment and then erase it. That seems to work. It’s low-tech and slow, but no need to know mySQL

In reply to: Comments are in database, but says “No Comments” on most postsyou could add a comment and then erase it after you upgraded SK2. That seems to work.

In reply to: Says No comments When there are commentsI think I have the exact same problem. I’m at 2.0.7, and I’m using spam karma 2.2
I think the problem started when I upgraded from 1.5.2 to 2.0.2, and has stayed with me through several upgrades.
Attempts to resolve:
Removed everything but default themes. (did not work)
Backed up entire database, backed up entire directory structure, wiped installation files, and installed fresh 2.0.7 (with old database untouched), ran upgrade script (did not work either)
My problem is exactly as described above, I have comments on posts, and I can click on the post to show the post and the comments, but in the overview, it says “no comments” regardless.
Any ideas?

In reply to: long Categories Category limitThanks for pointing me the right way.
I know you don’t want to hear it, but I’d say change your category description.
There seems to be a “cat_name” and a “category_nicename”. I’m just learning php, tell me if i’m on the right track here. What if I just changed my template to show the “category_nicename”, but use the “cat_name” for mySQL querries?
TIA

In reply to: WYSIWYG Text Editor after 2.0.3 upgradeI’ve composed 2 posts using OpenOffice. When I paste them into the 2.0.3 WYSIWYG Text Editor they aquire a mess of font tags. Those tags seem to play havic with the RSS feeds.Sample:
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font size="3" /><font size="2" /><font size="3" /><font size="2" /><font size="3" /><font size="2" /><font size="3" /><font size="2" /><font face="Arial"><br />
This is the text of the post.</font></p>Gee, I hope that looks okay.
Anyway, I suppose I need some more experments before I can note a bug.

In reply to: Can’t Delete image from Browse Allsamboll,
Thanks for the input, but I have a problem installing additional software on top of software that’s not working correctly.
Is there a way to re-initialize or “reboot” an install? What about reinstalling a fresh version on top of my current install?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t Delete image from Browse AllI too am having a similar problem. My upgrade path has been this: I had 1.5.2 for the longest time, then I upgraded to 2.0.2, and the next day I went to 2.0.3.
I can upload pictures fine. WordPress is generating the thumbnails OK and I can see the thumbnails. I can even drag the thumbnails into the post (I’m using firefox)
This page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Image_and_File_Attachments claims that I should be able to click once on the thumbnails and get a menu. This does not work. Same as mfhaque, I suppose.
mfhaque: as for your delete problem, I would guess that going in via FTP and erasing the files that way would work, but I know little about wordpress and have not tried it.
TIA
