You should be able to do a meta_query in a WP_Comment_Query(): $args = array( ‘post_id’ => ‘post-id-here’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘fish’, ‘value’ => ‘shark’, ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’ ) ) ); // Query the comments $comment_query = new WP_Comment_Query( $args ); // Count the number of comments $count = count ( $comment_query ); … Read more

If you examine the code in class-wp-query.php, you should find that the comments field only is populated with comments when a “comments-feed” is being queried for.

By using numberand offset I was able to make the results in the proper order, but pagination … Read more
