Hi Siamion, Thanks a lot for your comments, I’ll try today and I’ll let you.

I have still the same issue

Hello, If you use shortcode for category then you’ll only get question list. To get header use below snippet:

Hello Mark, If i am not wrong then you are trying to sum comment counts of question and answers. That is not a default behavior but this can be achieved. Let me think adding this feature will be helpful or not. Thanks

Hello, Yes, you have to renew your licencse after an year.

Validated as working $args = array( ‘count’ => true, ‘parent’ => get_the_ID() ); $totalcomments = get_comments($args); <!– Comment Count –> <a class=”ap-questions-count ap-questions-ccount” href=”<?php echo ap_answers_link(); ?>”> <span itemprop=”commentCount”><?php echo $totalcomments ?></span> <?php _e( ‘Comments’, ‘anspress-question-answer’ ); ?> </a> Works as intended once the comment_parent mapping is correctly configured

Looking at this further, it would be simple to achieve if we populate table wp_comments (using field comment_parent) and base the count on that For example: SELECT * FROM `wp_comments` WHERE comment_post_id = 7239 Returns 4 rows, but this is only the comments per ANSWER – not the entire thread. So, in an ideal world, we could use the ID of the question itself to populate the same comment_parent field. With this is mind, it would then be easy to calculate the count of comments based on each question, no ? SELECT count(*) AS ‘Total’ from wp_comments WHERE ‘comment_parent’ = 0 (which would return 237 – not what we want. BUT – if we populate this value at the time of posting UPDATE `wp_comments` SET comment_parent = 7232 WHERE comment_post_id = 7239; Then re-run the same query SELECT count(*) AS ‘Total’ from wp_comments WHERE comment_parent = 7232 This provides the desired (well, almost, as I’d need to set all comments in this thread to have the same parent) result Can we implement something along these lines ??

Any thoughts on this – or at least a setting where we can choose the default behaviour. It’s quite disruptive !

Here’s some examples. These are the actual questions, which have comments And these are the answers, which have comments What I’m looking for is a function that will combine the comments from both the actual question, plus the answers to the question, then provide the overall total 🙂

Ok, I see the disconnect. This is definitely a bug. The WordPress codex will only show comments for the actual post itself – not the answers. In this case, there are two comments on the original question, so that would be correct. However, what I want is the cumulative total for all comments on all answers, plus the comments to the actual question
