OpusK is looking for a way to count topics in sub-categories as an Admin. jomaxro suggests two methods: trying to delete a sub-category to see the topic count in the error message, or writing a Data Explorer query. OpusK finds the first method helpful but wishes the topic count was visible at a glance on the Admin Page. jomaxro provides two Data Explorer queries: one to get the topic count for a specific category, and another to list all categories and their topic counts. OpusK is grateful for the help and finds the queries useful for future reference.
The quickest way is likely to open the sub-category edit page and try to click delete. It will fail as there are topics, but the message will give you the number of topics. Alternatively, you could write a simple Data Explorer query.
