‘comment_type’ Column Still VARCHAR(20) Despite Running WordPress 6.4.3

[ad_1]

Hi,

I am running WordPress version 6.4.3, and after running into a problem trying to insert custom comments with a specific comment_type, I discovered that the comment_type column in my wp_comments table is still defined as VARCHAR(20). According to the WordPress documentation and my understanding, as of WordPress 5.5, the comment_type column should support up to 64 characters.

I’ve confirmed that my WordPress installation is up to date, and I am puzzled as to why the database schema has not been updated to reflect the new length constraint for comment_type.

Are there any recommended steps or plugins that can facilitate a database upgrade to ensure the schema matches the latest WordPress version’s expectations?

Thank you in advance for assistance and insights.

Edit: Nevermind, I could have got wrong information about that it should have changed to 64 characters.
