Little trouble with member counter

hello there

I have this problem: I tried to import a phpbb database to simple press, but it stopped during the process (server host problems)

So i decided to build from zero my forum, deleting all DB entries (mainly user entries). While there is no user in my database, members usergroup count shows previus member number.

Is there any way to reset this counter or sync with the actual members number?

how did you remove the users?  if you did it in the db, did you also remove all the extended user info in the sfmembers table?   that is where the count is going to come from...

if you deleted the user through the wp api, it would have also removed the sfmembers add on data...

Yes I deleted all DB entries in member table, then unistall and reinstalled plugin.

I did anything on sfmember table but it seems to have only current users data.

How I could resolve? I have a dozen of users right now since we are migrating from another forum, so I could make a backup of the table and delete all entries if It is needed

'Member' table? Do you mean the WordPress Users and Usermeta tables?

And  by 'Uninstall' do you really mean a full uninstall using the uninstall option of Simple:Press or do you mean deactivate and reactivate which are very different things?

I did anything on sfmember table but it seems to have only current users data.

So when on the User Groups listing (as per your screenshot above) if you click on the 'Show' button what does the listing actually show?  483 names or 12? If 483 then they must be in the sfmembers database table.

A proper and full uninstall of Simple:Press will remove all of the SP data if that is what you want to do.

Hello and thanks for answer

Yes, user and usermeta tables are fine, with the correct numbers of users.

The unistall was a clear unistall, using the simple:press unistaller (activate unistall option, deactivate plugin, then delete)

In the user group listing I see just 12 members, the sfmember is fine too.

It's just that counter...

The SQL behind that value is simply:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM XXX_sfmemberships WHERE usergroup_id = 2

and of course where XXX is your WP table prefix.

Can you take a look in that table and see what is in there? Were these users already in the WP Users table when you re-installed SP?

Woah!

It returns me 500 as value

So that table is the problem.

If I delete all entries there, will I loose also WP users or just forums one?

If you delete the table manually then you will not lose any users at all. You will just lose the association of those members in your user groups. And they are easy enough to re-instate. Just use the Map Users to User Group option from the admin menu which can rebuild them simply.
