Reply count off by one after deleting a reply

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

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

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.

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.

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.
