Thankyou so much Ravi, that works great on my test environment. Deletes the comments and correctly updates the total comments count per post too. Perfect.
Re. possible performance issues for large numbers of comments.
– the particular user has approx. 2000 comments spread over 4 years.
– would it be safe to do them all at once?
– or maybe using ‘date_query’ with the get_comments() function, I could delete them in smaller batches.What would you recommend?
Thanks!
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
The code snippet above was pasted wrong, here’s the correct version:
$entries = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type IN ('post', 'page')"); foreach($entries as $entry) { $post_id = $entry->ID; $comment_count = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) AS comment_cnt FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = '$post_id' AND comment_approved = '1'"); $wpdb->query("UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_count = '$comment_count' WHERE ID = '$post_id'"); }
Thanks Brajesh,
– I looked at the Bulk Delete plugin but the functionality to delete comments per specific user id is only available in the premium version, and I will probably only use it only once.
– re. Recounting all the post comments, I’m unable to write the correct code myself, but I found the following on Stack overflow :
$entries = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type IN ('post', 'page')"); foreach($entries as $entry) { $post_id = $entry->ID; $comment_count = $entries = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type IN ('post', 'page')"); $wpdb->query("UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_count = '$comment_count' WHERE ID = '$post_id'"); }
– I tested in test environment, seems to work fine (albeit with a small number of posts)
Question – my live site has over 1000 posts, would the code be safe to use?
Thanks!
Hi Mark
This might possibly be of assistance?
Will remove the editor toolbar stuff.
Simply replace 9999 with your field id.function antipole_remove_rich_text( $field_id = null ) { if ( ! $field_id ) { $field_id = bp_get_the_profile_field_id( '9999' ); // replace 9999 with your field id } $field = xprofile_get_field( $field_id ); if ( $field ) { $enabled = false; } } add_filter( 'bp_xprofile_is_richtext_enabled_for_field', 'antipole_remove_rich_text' );
