I’m not sure if you’ve hit a bug or not, but I suspect it is related to the TopicEmbed table. Since you can’t recover the topics, I suspect you remove all the entries in the `topic_embeds` table via the database console, then let embedding recreate the topics.

Just to be clear, you are aware that you can’t post via embedding right? It’s only for displaying. It’s usually meant to attract people to the forum content.
