 I am running the following piece of code (assume all variables have values
 and that $comments_count is a number) is a custom importer that I am
 trying for Joomla2Wordpress.

 {{{
 $ret_id = wp_insert_post(array(
                 'ID'                    => $pinfo,
                 'post_date'             => $Posted,
                 'post_date_gmt'         => $post_date_gmt,
                 'post_author'           => $authorid,
                 'post_modified'         => $LastMod,
                 'post_modified_gmt'     => $post_modified_gmt,
                 'post_title'            => $Title,
                 'post_content'          => $Body,
                 'post_excerpt'          => $Excerpt,
                 'post_status'           => $post_status,
                 'post_name'             => $sefurl,
                 'comment_count'         => $comments_count)
         );
 }}}


 However while the code inserts the post correctly, the comments count is
 not updated (remains zero). The codex page doesn't mention the parameter
 at all.
