WordPress 2.5 comments not showing up in Dashboard

Filed under: Career & Lifestyle — Chris Peters, April 19, 2008

I upgraded a large number of WordPress blogs to version 2.5 a few weeks ago and couldn’t get comments to show up in the Dashboard.

After some prodding in the WordPress forum, oreixa finally offered up a solution.

Access to your Mysql database and execute:

create index comment_date_gmt on wp_comments(comment_date_gmt);

it will create the index and the comments will appear.

remember to backup the database first.

Maybe some of you will find me in a Google search. If so, be sure to say hi!

  1. Thank you! It fixed my blog comments after about three months of manually doing it!
