I’ve recently observed that the tag counts (e.g., “Java X 10”) are no longer visible on our /tags page. Instead, we only see a list of tags without their respective counts. Any insights on what might be causing this sudden disappearance of counts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

▶ I tried to debug the issue. Here is what I figured out. Short version: You’re using Discourse 3.0.6, and a fix landed in 3.1.0, which fixed indirectly this issue. :thinking: You can probably fix your issue by updating to the latest stable version, which is 3.2.0 or, at the very least, 3.1.0.

My guess would be you have theme that removes it. I don’t see the problem on Meta or any of the sites I regularly use.

If you have a chunk of private categories it could be the include secure categories in tag counts admin setting?

Hi Jon, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I haven’t introduced any new themes.

Hi JammyDodger! I do have a chunk of private categories. I will have a look at that setting. Ty!

Fantastic! Many thanks, Arkshine ! I appreciate your time, and superb debugging skills are greatly valued in pinpointing the root cause. I will follow up with our server admin regarding the upgrade.

The ‘include secure categories in tag counts` admin setting was disabled. I enabled it, but unfortunately no luck in showing the tag counts.
Strange.
