I have modified:

  • the function description, to reflect correctly the return type of the function.
  • the hard-coded return value, to reflect correctly the function description.
  • added new unit test accounting for return type.

Docs: Clarify that get_comments_number() can return either a numeric string (for compatibility reasons) or 0 if the post doesn't exist.

Also update the hook doc for the get_comments_number filter to reflect the mixed type for $count.
