Worked like a charm on WordPress 3.2.1 with no plugins (other than Akismet) and the default 2011 theme – thanks for sharing.

Very helpful post.
Removing the wordpress prefix from the table names will help some. Also removing the where close in the second join might help (WHERE comment_approved =1)

I use wordpress and disqus plugin,
when user add comment, after few minute, disqus agent will update wordpress database (wp_posts,wp_comments …etc),but when administrator delete comment, disqus will not update wp_posts's comment_count and wp_comments,

I can't get accuracy comment_count and comment counts got messed up, how could I get accuracy comment_count of every post ?

Thanks.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really needed this fix – Intense Debate and WordPress together have been a disaster. Your SQL queries worked perfectly!

I tought about implementing a feature to send a maximum number of mails per day and/or to send a mail after a custom number of comments have been selected. Additionally I would implement a admin comment feed with all the neccessary liks to approve, edit, delete or mark as spam.

This happens a lot to me so I made a wordpress plugin for it that checks it and fixes it on a timer.

Thanks for this. This worked exactly as expected. For people getting the access denied error, try removing the "wordpress." prefix for the table names.

Looks like your user doesn't have the right permissions to access the WP tables.
