I’m trying to understand how you’ve set this up. Please correct me if I’m wrong:

1. You use Publishing and [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) feature sets of the plugin.
2. You do (not) have “Enable Discourse Comments” enabled (?: this is unclear)
3. You have the “Sync Comment Data” webhook enabled.
4. You have added a custom button at the bottom of the Wordpress posts linked to Discourse that displays the count of Discourse posts on a topic. It uses the `get_comments_number` Wordpress filter.
5. You want the count to be updated when posts in the linked topic are deleted.

Is that right? What else have you set up (or not)?
