Put a game on LFP. The setup says to put # of players wanted (Including GM) but # of players in the game doesn't count GM

Newbie here. I am getting ready to run my first games. During setup it asked me how many players (including the GM) I wanted playing. I said 6 because I want 5 players and myself as GM. However, it shows that there are players and looking for 4. I have invited the 2 players it says are part of the game now, but it doesn't count me as a player.  How should I fix this?

This touches on a long-standing inconsistency of Roll20's. Yes, Roll20 counts the definition of "Players" differently (by 1) in the "Join A Game" listing system, versus your Game Details home page. Best you could do is increase your LFP listing by +1 higher.  By the way you could also increase it by +2, +3 higher, and then count on some people Not to show up (this happens), or, list the higher number but only Accept/Invite the ones you want to actually play it.
