Tags articles numbering is broken

[pwireless]

When displaying the Tags in the Joomla front/main page, the # of articles that had a certain Tag was correctly displaying next to the Tag. In the latest versions of Joomla the # of articles displayed next to the Tag(s) seems to be a random number, and doesn't reflect to the actual # of articles having the specific Tag.

I create a new Tag say Tag1 in Joomla. Then I publish say 3 articles in Joomla, using that Tag1. Then when I display the Tags in the front page, next to Tag1 it doesn't show 3, but a random number. In previous versions, maybe before 5.3 it was working fine.

How are you displaying the tags? Is it a module? If so which one

[pwireless]

Thank you, I'm using Modules: Tags - Popular, order by Title, Display Number of Items = Yes.

I am unable to replicate this

[pwireless]

Acceptable, however personally I see it ( for many new Tags I create). I have many Tags listed, if it makes any difference.

Could you please give concrete numbers or screenshots of backend and frontend? As you say random does the number change with every load of the site?
How many tags do you have,how many articles, are all articles and their categories published?

[pwireless]

I "Add Files", then "Start upload" but the images are not loading to the msg. Can you pls help how to upload images?

No the # of articles next to the Tag is not changing with every load of the site. It is constant, but it doesn't reflect the correct number of articles. This is happening to the new Tags. The older Tags (before Joomla 5.3 or so) seem to work ok.

In the backend (Joomla administration) the Tags have the correct number of articles. In the module Tags - Popular seems to be the problem. For example for 1 Tag 1 article. In the backend under Components - Tags it shows correctly 1. But in the frontend in the module it shows 18 (1 example). I have tried also the "Rebuild" in the Tags backend, but no difference.
