Category topic count incorrectly displaying number of posts

Hi everyone,

I’m having a problem where on the main page of my Discourse instance, the categories are displayed with the number of topics. However, after permanently deleting a post, the number still does not go down - is there a way to resolve this? The number of posts is 5 even though there are 3 topics open and 2 have been permanently deleted.

Thanks!

Are you referring to this?

Hi ondrej,

No - I’m referring to normal lifetime category topic posts, not weekly posts.

Thanks.

I think there’s a daily background job that would adjust those. How long has it been?

Hi JammyDodger,

It’s been 3 hours - is there a way to manually run this background job?

Thanks!

If you have access to your /sidekiq/scheduler page, you can manually trigger jobs::EnsureDbConsistency. Hopefully that kicks it back into line. :crossed_fingers:
