Reply count off by one after deleting a reply

JA Jamal Reed 2 weeks 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.

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.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

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.

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

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

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