I can't delete a category or topic description

Ok, try running this in the rails console. What number does it give?

Category.find_by(name: 'Your Category Name').topics.count

You can list the topic titles like this:

Category.find_by(name: 'Your Category Name').topics.pluck(:title)

Okay, that’s what I got:

[1] pry(main)> Category.find_by(name: ‘Discord’).topics.count
=> 1

[2] pry(main)> Category.find_by(name: ‘Discord’).topics.pluck(:title)
=> [“O kategorii Discord”]

23

Please can you try these as well:

Category.find_by(name: 'Discord').topic_count

Category.find_by(name: 'Discord').topics.pluck(:id)

Category.find_by(name: 'Discord').topic_id

Here you are:

[5] pry(main)> Category.find_by(name: ‘Discord’).topics.pluck(:id)
=> [17]

[4] pry(main)> Category.find_by(name: ‘Discord’).topic_id
=> 17

25

Those two look ok, what about the first one in my list?

I already sent you output of this command in last reply, but anyway:

[10] pry(main)> Category.find_by(name: ‘Discord’).topic_count
=> 1

topics.count is different to topic_count :wink:

I think something is going wrong with your topic_count. By all the commands you’ve run, I think it should be zero (it is supposed to ignore the category description topic).

So, to reset it, run

Category.find_by(name: 'Discord').update(topic_count: 0)

Then try deleting the category from the UI again.
