Perch Blog Category Counts (2.4 -> 2.7 upgrade)

Hi,

I've been updating a client's website from an older version of perch to the latest, including the blog app. I've followed the instructions on the documentation pages however I've hit a sticking point with the category totals in that they don't appear to have updated the counts in the upgrade.

If I save each individual post the total does increase, but this is impractical with many pages of posts to go through. Is there functionality similar to 'Republish' for the blog, or an alternative to get the correct counts?

That's curious. How many categories do you have?

Six currently, they are all appearing correctly in the categories app.

If you save a category, does it update the count?

Nope, it doesn't even cause the categories currently not showing in the front end to appear.

What happens if you run the update again?

Awesome! That's sorted it out.

Much appreciated, Drew.
