I’m using DC SSO where users are managed by WP. The forum acts as a way to comment on posts, but these posts are only visible in the forum.

I have a custom “Comment” button in WP that turns into “x comments” when there are coments in the linked topic. (It uses normal WP `get_comments_number` that the DC plugin hooks into.)

It works well, but I’ve just tried deleting a post and the count remains the same. The UI in the WP plugin recommends:  
`Events: "Post is created", "Post is updated".`  
Based on that, it is perhaps not supported? To decrease or recalculate post/comment count.
