post count is wrong
-
Hi,
when i activate the “show post count” feature, the amount of posts is shown only of the parent category, not from all posts in that category (the amount of posts in sub-categories is missing).
Is there a option to change this? because this is the only reason why i bought the pro version. And it doesn’t work.The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

almost. thats because the posts inside of this category also have this category (europe) and the subcategory. This is different in other parent categories. For example: Ozeanien. 89 is the post count of this category as shown in the menu. But in subcategory australia alone are 190 posts.
So i need the complete amount of posts including all posts in subcategories.
in that way i can show the user how many posts he will have to see when he opens the parent category toggle.
As of now, there should be 295 as postcount for Ozeanien.
this website have 1141 posts. They all have categories. So the amounts of post counts should be in a higher range as they are now shown. there are only 10 parent categories. All others are subcategories.
I would recommend to simply take the function from wordpress original category widget. they do it. they just dont have it as beautiful as your plugin. So to take the same code for this function should work.
i put the regular wordpress category widget into my website as a dropdown with all postscounts correctly shown. so you can compare the amounts.i edit my last reply. check out the original category widget of wordpress itself. this works. maybe just take it from them to count the postcount ??
for your question: answer is 2 or 1. it depends on the posts. If there are 2 posts and 1 post is category 1 and the other post is category 2, then the answer is 2.
But if there is only 1 post and this post have 2 categories (categroy 1 & categroy 2), the answer is 1.
If the parent category itself have posts as well, the answer is same as above + (???) how many posts are in this category as well ??i guess there is the problem. You count the posts per category. that is correct. but it would be better if you count the posts + the posts in subcategories of that category as well, because that is a game-changer and clearly worth a lot, as it allowes to shrink the menu down from 170 categories to only 10 parent categories and the user can still see how many posts he will see on his way through the toggles of subcategories.
