<?php
// This script will look at ALL of your WordPress blog posts (post type 'post' in this case)
//  and look at the reported number of comments in the post's meta / custom_field, 'pp_discourse_replies'
//
// It will then look at all associated Discourse Topics (as per the WP-Discourse plugin's discourse_topic_id) 
//  custom field and and check the actual number of replies. If they are different, it will update the custom field.
//
// You can then override your WP theme's comment count PHP to display this meta field (pp_discourse_replies)
//  and run this script on cron, so you have regularly-updated comment counts, but are not slowing your site down
//  retrieving them.
