[I had a similar problem](https://meta.discourse.org/t/re-purposing-a-discourse-installation-for-a-yearly-event/34670/17).

The following code (to be run within `rails console`) may solve your problem, make it worse, or set your hair on fire 🔥. Use at your own risk (and with a backup).

```ruby
Category.all.each { |c|
    c.topic_count = c.topics.length - 1 # -1 for about post
    c.save!
}

```

Alternatively, `rake import:ensure_consistency` from [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importers-for-large-forums/61681) might help, but it seems to have [destructive side effects](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importers-for-large-forums/61681/49).
