In wp_update_comment() we are calling wp_update_comment_count(), but this is unnecessary if the comment_post_ID is 0.

I tried to patch this but it was unclear to me due to other inconsistencies in the specific file, whether it's best practice to put

if ( $variable ){
    do_this();
}

or

if ( $variable )
    do_this(); 

I tried to be consistent with the file, but it uses both styles.

@juanfra would it therefore be reasonable to change this patch to change the rest of the file to braces? Or would that be best served on a separate ticket?

#5 @juanfra

@ambrosey I'm not sure, let's @rachelbaker respond to that. I can help out with adding braces if the answer is yes.

@juanfra @ambrosey Great questions. With newly written lines we do want to follow the WordPress Coding Standards.
To keep an accurate history and reduce code churn we don't reformat entire files for style reasons. Brick by brick, we will get there eventually :)

@ambrosey So it looks like on line 1951 you are just missing a space before the bracket.

@rachelbaker Great, so we'll keep on tracing new tickets for that. And keep improving one line at a time.

Kudos @ambrosey :)

As suggested by @rachelbaker, it probably makes more sense to put the ! $post_id check into wp_update_comment_count() itself. wp_update_comment_count_now() already bails when the $post_id is empty, and there's no reason why we'd ever want to add 0 to the deferred-comment-count array.

#12 @juanfra
8 years ago

@boonebgorges do you mean inside the wp_update_comment_count() function?


$post_id = (int) $post_id;
if ( ! $post_id ) {
        return false;
}

#13 @rachelbaker

As I dug more into this I found that this bug had a slightly larger scope. Currently only wp_delete_comment() does check if the comment_post_ID is valid (as in returns a WP_Post object from get_post()) before calling wp_update_comment_count(). Instead of adding a bunch of conditional checks before calling that function, it would be cleaner to do the check in the wp_update_comment_count() function itself, and return early if there is no post.

We will need to be careful when doing this because wp_defer_comment_counting() actually intentionally passes null for the $post_id param.

Now checking inside the function.
