Interesting. How did you manage to delete those topics? You shouldn’t be allowed to delete them in the UI.

First, let’s see if the topics are really gone.

```plaintext
./launcher enter app
rails c

```

```ruby
Topic.with_deleted.exists?(SiteSetting.guidelines_topic_id)
Topic.with_deleted.exists?(SiteSetting.tos_topic_id)

```

If the topics are really gone, create two new topics in the Staff category and assign the topic ids in the rails console to the site settings.

```ruby
SiteSetting.guidelines_topic_id = 4711 # replace with topic id
SiteSetting.tos_topic_id = 4712 # replace with topic id

SiteSetting.default_locale

```

And then replace the content of those topics by using the “Manual Update” described in [Update seeded categories and topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/update-seeded-categories-and-topics/111963)
