Have you searched for your problem: yes
If so, what terms did you try: categories don't update, categories block, categories config, stories won't update, several others
State the nature of your problem:
When I add a new story, the number of stories per category does not update correctly, on either the categories page or the categories block. The very first story I added seemed to show up all right, but subsequent ones did not - and when I added and then deleted a test story, I'm now getting a negative number for that category. The individual stories seem to be getting counted as chapters, not stories - when I switch to a skin with the site info showing, it says I have -1 stories and 3 chapters, when I ought to have three stories.
When I click on the category, all the stories are there. If I click on Admins, it shows both accounts and it displays the correct number of stories for each one (3 and 0.) But if I click on members, then it shows the same numbers that show up in the categories block (0 and -1). I currently have two admin accounts set up; I'm not sure if that's relevant.
My stories folder has permissions set to 777, and my config.php file is set to 666. I saw reference to a blocks_config file while searching, but I don't seem to have one. I'm using a slightly modified version of the Murder skin. I'm fairly sure I've just messed up a setting somewhere, I'm just not sure where to look to fix this.
Do you have a test account for us? No, but I can make one if necessary.
Try going under Admin > Archive Maintenance and hitting all the recalculation tools, particularly "Recalculate site statistics".
That fixed it - thank you!
