 * Hiya all,
 * I tried to search the forums but didn’t get a hit on “comment” “comments” or “
   theme comments”. So while it’s most likely been answered, I’m asking.
 * Since I updated to 2.0 (still have to do the update to 2.0.2) from 1.5.?, the
   comment counts on my pages are showing 0, even if there are comments in the database(
   which I get an email notification for).
 * This is the code that I’m using everywhere on the site:
    <?php comments_popup_link(‘
   Comments (0)’, ‘Comments (1)’, ‘Comments (%)’); ?>
 * This is the exampple that the codex gives:
    <?php comments_number(‘no responses’,’
   one response’,’% responses’); ?>.
 * These are close enough to the same that I shouldn’t need to worry.
 * To test, I switched to the WordPress default and WordPress classic themes – I
   have the same problem here as in my “default” North Country Coders theme.
 * Can anybody give me a hand, here, please?
 * For those interested in testing for themselves, the website is [http://www.confuzzled.nl](http://www.confuzzled.nl)–
   if you do put in a comment, be aware that Spam Karma is running, so any nonesense
   comments won’t be posted, which sort of messes up the whole test.
 * Thanks!

 * fernashes, believe it or not, I think it does have something to do with the Spam
   Karma plugin.. I have seen numerous threads about this issues already.
 * I think it has something to do with the Spam Karma plugin needing upgraded to
   the latest version or something.. =/ One of these threads should be able to help
   you. Two of them are about the same issue you are having..
