Reply count off by one after deleting a reply

JA Jamal Reed 3 months ago Resolved

Steps to reproduce: create a topic with three replies, delete one. The space listing still shows three replies on the topic.

It corrects itself after running wp jetonomy recount, so it looks like the denormalized counter isn't decremented on delete. WordPress 6.9, single site.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

The importer preserves original dates and maps forums to spaces. Always run with --dry-run first to preview counts, take a database backup, then run the real import. It batches large datasets so timeouts are not a concern.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.
