 * Hi,
 * I currently have 8 vendors, 3 customers, 0 subscribers 1 administrator accounts
   and one says none but my totals at the top of the table show
 * All (159) | Administrator (1) | Subscriber (71) | Customer (73) | Vendor (14)
 * So it appears that the others that have been deleted have not been deleted from
   these totals. I haven’t looked at this before but what can I do about it. I’d
   like to be able to see without having to count each total.
 * Thanks

 * I had a similar situation with a disagreement between the count and what I saw
   under “All Users”. It turned out that (1) this was a site that had once been 
   hacked and (2) there were records in the wp_usermeta table without corresponding
   records in wp_users.
 * If you’re fluent-ish with databases, check the wp_usermeta table for pointers
   to records that do not exist in wp_users.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks I’m looking at the wp_usermeta table but I’m not sure what else I should
   be looking for?
 * I have Full texts umeta_id user_id Descending 1 meta_key meta_value.
 * There are over 3000 rows in the table, they all have a value in the user_id column
   but the user id may have been deleted and therefore doesn’t exist in the wp_users
   table. Although the user id goes up to 294 of which I don’t think there has ever
   been that many users created.
 * Not sure what to do now.
    Also, when you say it was a site that had once been
   hacked, is this something i need to be concerned about i.e. that it has been 
   hacked rather than could it be hacked?
