In reply to: Problems with wp_comments tableThanks all for your responses.
Unfortunately it was user error. I was looking at the migrated site rather than the new site. Once I discovered the error of my ways, I restored wp_comments to the correct place and all is good.
SORRY FOR WASTING ANYONE’S TIME

In reply to: Problems with wp_comments tableAs I said, I needed to get the database under 1gb. I thought that export/delete/import would have worked.
Now, of course, I know different.

In reply to: Comment numbers truncated on iPhoneGood suggestion. I contacted them and problem is now solved
That’s great – it now appears to work on my sandbox. I will implement it on my live site shortly.
I feel a 5-star rating coming on. Thank you very much.
it’s set to run everywhere – here’s a screenshot:

I know that it runs when users are searching as I added an “echo” to the snippet and it showed up dozens of times
The title
002 comma notice post
The content
002 comma contains post thousand titleAnd, also, just in case “Admin” was causing different behaviour, I accessed the site in an incognito window without logging in. The results were the same.
Yes I did. Just for completeness, I’ve just rebuilt the index again. It’s still the same.
Many thanks, Mikko.
I have implemented that snippet and it somewhat works.
For example, if the post contains (in the title), “1002” then searching for “1002” or “1,002” works perfectly.
However, if the post title contains “1,002” then searching for “1002” doesn’t work.
You can check this on my sandbox site using “sandbox.” followed by the live site name

In reply to: Unable to comment on postsI contemplated making the changes you suggested but before I could even get going, everything started working again (about 9.30am)
Weird!

In reply to: Unable to comment on postsNo changes. I was actually sitting in the dentist chair at the time. Comments were received before 11am OK. Something must have happened then but there are only two admin accounts and neither of us were actively logged in at the time.
Thanks for that. That is a setting that I wasn’t aware existed. I have tested it and it seems to work perfectly.
Sorry. I should have put more thought into my post. I think I was kinda panicking and just seeking general advice, which @threadi has now given me.
I’m sorry. I misled myself and, in turn, misled you.
I installed the plugin “Comment Reply Email Notification“. And when I found that I wasn’t receiving email notifications, I read their suggestion to install your plugin but it still doesn’t work. Now I’m in the situation where I don’t know if it’s yours or their plugin or my stupidity that’s causing the problem. And I don’t really know where to start.

In reply to: Non-keyboard (unicode) charactersThanks for your help bcworkz.
I’ve finally got things sorted. It was all down to how some tables had been defined. Post and comment tables were defined as “Latin1” and, using PhpMySQL these were changed to “utf8”.
We took a backup before the update and posted a notice warning that any changes made in a given two-hour timeframe could be lost.
All looks good now.
