Comments on: Comments Missing in WordPress Dashboard After 2.5.1 Upgrade http://elasticdog.com/2008/04/comments-missing-in-wordpress-dashboard-after-251-upgrade/ Imagine Something Clever Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:40:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Paul http://elasticdog.com/2008/04/comments-missing-in-wordpress-dashboard-after-251-upgrade/comment-page-1/#comment-51274 Paul Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:06:52 +0000 http://elasticdog.com/?p=28#comment-51274 Last week, late one night I had to add a few more blogs to my website. I used the wordpress blog creation feature offered by my hosting company. This quickly creates the basic wordpress blog but uses an old version of wordpress. After that I uploaded the sets of wordpress plugins to each account. Among them I have been recently including the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin. I was very pleased that WPAU worked like a charm and even preserved the WP Cache, which is something that can only be created by the ISP's blog initialization interface because of permission restrictions on my service(I am thinking about exploiting this on the blogs that I have lost my WP Cache). I was actually expecting an error message from WPAU regarding user privileges. It was only after some time I realized the comment_date_gmt problem and that WPAU had not reported the error, maybe it is in the log but I didn't go looking for trouble. Going into phpMyAdmin as specified above and running index on each comment_date_gmt for each account worked like a charm. Normally when upgrading I swap each wp-config.php with one that has a privileged db user account. I am certain that if I had done this prior to running WPAU I would not have had the comment_date_gmt problem on those new accounts. Your phpMyAdmin solution was really quick and easy. It took my less time to fix half a dozen blogs then type this comment... Good work! Last week, late one night I had to add a few more blogs to my website.

Although that might be the case in my situation, I decided to look at the upgrade scripts themselves, and the index <em>was</em> missing as I had originally thought...so the advice should still be valid.
