SK2-WP2Compatibility
Well, it’s hardly a secret that Wordpress 2.0 is drawing ever closer to release … But because there are lots and lots (and I mean literally hundreds) of changes across the board, it’s hardly surprising that plugin compatibility is a big issue.
In the big list of compatible plugins, Spam Karma features as well. It stops spam, regardless of your version of Wordpress.
But there’s a problem. Because one of the internal changes to Wordpress’ database tables introduced the comment_count field. And Wordpress 2.0 displays the number of comments against a post based on the value in this field. And Spam Karma in its current incarnation doesn’t know about no steenkin’ comment_count field.
Enter SK2-WP2Compatibility.
SK2-WP2Compatibility (yes, I tried hard to think of a fun name, honest!) is a plugin for Spam Karma 2. Anyone may download and use it; however, it only has any effect if you run it in a Wordpress 2.0 installation. Beta-1 is fine. Beta-2 is fine. RC1 is good too. Even bleeding edge SVN updated Wordpress 2.0 is fine.
It doesn’t kill any spam. It doesn’t make Spam Karma any better than it already is at killing spam. It doesn’t make you breakfast in bed. It doesn’t drag your lazy ass to work. Nope. None of those. It just tries to make sure that the poor comment_count field in your shiny Wordpress installation gets an appropriate amount of lurve. And updating. Don’t forget the updating.
So, if you’ve been plagued by a swarm of incorrect comment counts and you’ve identified Spam Karma as the culprit, maybe you should give this plugin a shot.
Simply download and copy to your SK2/sk2_plugins directory. If the plugin (SK2 plugin, not Wordpress plugin) detects that you are running Wordpress 2.0; it will run an extra update each time someone posts a comment. If you’re still running Wordpress 1.5.2, nothing happens.
Requirements: You must have Spam Karma 2 installed. If you have Spam Karma 2.1 beta 4 or later, you do not need this plugin. Simply upgrade to the latest Spam Karma and you get comment counts updated for free. No plugin required.
Current version: 1.0. Just download, unzip, read the included readme file and move the .php file to the appropriate location and you’re done.
Problems ? comments ? suggestions ? *gasp* bug reports ? Please leave a comment here or mail me directly at lair AT fierydragon dot org. Please make sure, however, that the title of your email includes the phrase sk2_wp2compatibility lest my overzealous spam killing bin your mail. I’m also available in the #wordpress IRC channel on freenode; with the innocuous nickname of tinster.
Update 3rd Jan 2005: The most recent beta of Spam Karma 2.1 fixes the comment count problem without needing this plugin. Please download SK 2.1 beta from this location. Simply delete sk2_wp2compatibility.php from your sk2_plugins directory to uninstall.
.
Update 10th Jan 2005: Spam Karma 2.1 final is out. The latest release of SK is fully compatible with Wordpress 2.0. Basically, if you upgrade to SK 2.1 (and you should!) then you no longer need this plugin. Delete the php file to uninstall.

The simple fix that I found was just take an older version of SK2 that was working on another blog and upload it.
Seemed to do the trick.

Sean: you should no longer need this plugin. In fact, the only reason anyone should run this plugin is if they cannot upgrade past Spam Karma 2.1 for some reason. From SK 2.2 onwards, all the functionality contained within this plugin is built into SK2 itself; so you don’t need it any more.
If you have the latest SpamKarma (2.2), then please do continue to use it
This plugin is now obsolete.
