I have over 8,000 images in 161 albums. All photos and albums are published yet on the admin overview page it reports 5,394 unpublished images.

I have run the publish content plugin which reports 0 unpublished images. Any ideas what is causing the discrepancy.

I'm investigating slowness issues so I'm cleaning up my gallery and looking at all issues.

If you haven't try a database refresh in case the file system and database are out of sync. That's a button on the overview page.

Yes, I've tried that. And also checked the database on the back end using MySQL check/repair. It's not a big deal. Just wondering why the ZP admin is reporting that erroneous number, while the publish-content plugin reports correctly.

We will take a look if we can reproduce it.

Hmm.. yeah in my Overview page it says 31 Unpublished images but
select * from images where images.show = 0;
Only returns 15 images. I wonder where it's getting the additional numbers?

Do you have unpublished albums with published images? Because of inheritance those would be "unpublished" as well. That's what the method getNumImages() is returning.

Hmmm.. yes I do.. and the numbers match that way. I have a private album with 17 private unpublished albums below that.

So far we found 1 typo that caused an incorrect number of un-published images (fix in the Support build)
However that doesn't explain the issue @tplowe56 is having.
Still investigating...

Ahhh.. numbers look better:
650 Images (331 un-published)
34 Albums (19 un-published)
