wp term recount

Recalculates number of posts assigned to each term.

In instances where manual updates are made to the terms assigned to posts in the database, the number of posts associated with a term can become out-of-sync with the actual number of posts.

This command runs wp_update_term_count() on the taxonomy’s terms to bring the count back to the correct value.

OPTIONS OPTIONS

<taxonomy>…
One or more taxonomies to recalculate.
