Hi all
I have 200 comments stores in the comments table in the WP database, imported when moving my blog to a new server. The comments aren’t showing in WP Admin (but ARE showing as a total number count in the admin interface) or on the website front-end, but they’re there in the database.
Please could you help me with a way to process / reimport these comments so they do show up in WP Admin and on my website?
I’ve asked an Upwork freelancer for help and they say there’s no way to do this without re-adding each comment to the front-end one by one. But they’re in the database, in the right comments table, so this doesn’t make any sense.
Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction!
Thank you 🙂

Comments are assigned to posts, via the `comment_post_ID` field in the `wp_comments` table. Check that the values in that column align with your wp_posts `ID` field. I’m guessing that for them the appear in the admin area, the comments need to be linked to posts.
