This plugin provides a simple method to update the comment counters stored in each post.
Works with multiple AJAX calls and processes packs of 50 posts by default.
For each entry, the comments counter is updated calling the WordPress function <code>wp_update_comment_count_now</code>.
Allows support for existing custom post types, and gives some plugin filters to change core configuration.

Update Comments Count

After an import from wordpress.com the comment counts were way off. This worked perfectly. Thanks! WordPress version 4.9.7 and PHP 7.

Still Works!!!

Worked perfectly.

Would be good to get the "Tested up to" tag updated so you can appear more prominently in search results in the repo.

But thanks for making this - saved me a ton of time!

Worked perfectly

As of the time of writing, this plugin hasn't been updated for over 7 years. However, it still works using PHP 7.4 and WordPress 6.0.2. 

This plugin fixes an annoying thing that misleads users, so I highly recommend giving it a try even today.
