Switching post types with the Post Type Switcher plugin can cause incorrect category counts. Fix it easily by deleting the problematic category:

  1. Identify the Issue: Check which category shows incorrect counts.
  2. Delete the Category: In the WordPress dashboard, go to Posts > Categories and delete the broken category (posts remain intact).
  3. Reassign/Create Category: WordPress will recalculate counts when posts are reassigned or defaulted.

This quick fix resolves misaligned counts and keeps your site organized. Advanced users can opt for database solutions if needed.
