wp_defer_comment_counting() │ WP 2.5.0

Determines whether to defer comment counting.

When setting $defer to true, all post comment counts will not be updated until $defer is set to false. When $defer is set to false, then all previously deferred updated post comment counts will then be automatically updated without having to call wp_update_comment_count() after.

No Hooks.

Returns

true|false.
