## Àpèjúwe

When you export and import comments from one WordPress site to another, the comment
counts stored against each post can end up out of sync with the actual comments 
in the database. Update Comment Count fixes this in a single click from your WordPress
admin dashboard, without needing direct database access.

#### Features

 * Recalculates the total comment count across your entire site
 * Updates the stored comment count for every post to match the actual number of
   comments
 * One-click operation from a dedicated admin page
 * No configuration needed

## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀

 1. Upload the `update-comment-count` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install directly through the **Plugins > Add New** screen in your WordPress 
    admin.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Update Comment Count** in the admin menu and click the button to recalculate
    your comment counts.

## FAQ

### Will this affect my existing comments?

No. This plugin only recalculates and updates the `comment_count` value stored against
each post. It does not add, remove, or modify any comments themselves.

### When should I use this?

Typically after migrating a site, restoring a backup, or importing comments from
another WordPress installation, where post comment counts no longer match the actual
comments in your database.

### Is it safe to run more than once?

Yes. It simply recalculates counts from your current comments table each time you
click the button, so running it again causes no harm.

After doing a large import from another blog, some of my comment counts were showing
0. This plugin worked perfectly and updated all post comments with a click of a 
button. Thanks so much!
