Comments Broken

I think I broke my comments.

I had noticed that my WordPress dashboard hadn’t been displaying recent comments for about a week; it also wasn’t showing recent incoming links either, and so I assumed that an upgrade to the latest version of WordPress might fix it.

So I upgraded yesterday, and now the same 8 comments (from a post about a month ago) are showing up on every post. I have tried to reset IntenseDebate (the comment plug-in that I use), and that didn’t seem to work, so I tried to do a clean import of the comments. The import  “ran” all night long and progress was still showing at zero percent.

I’m hoping that restoring the comments from the site backup that I did on Thursday will resolve the problem. In the meantime, bear with me…
