Hi,
Sorry for delay in reply but after about 24/48 hrs my comments count finally cleared. There must be a cache somewhere on the Word Press installation that retains this count value for some period and then eventually resets.
Bit irritating but glad it has worked itself out.
Best regards
PAUL
This is not resolved as I have exactly the same issue. I got this plugin specifically for deleting comments which it has done, but now I will not be able to quickly tell how many new comments have come in as the count is not correct.
Do you have any idea as to how to cure this issue ?
