Woo-hoo. Great. Where is it linked? Isn’t the official WordPress SUPPORT forum where I’d expect to find a PROMINENT link to allow me to notify a found bug? I certainly wasn’t aware of it. It seems that if you need to know, you just know…

I repeat, the site layout here sux. ??

Heh, this is nearly what I was looking for. What I want to do is similar, but I want to suppress all the count of articles in child categories, so my top-level parents are bold headers if they are just container categories (contain no allocated posts of their own) or list as their article count ONLY the posts allocated to them directly, without the counts of their children added.

I am trailing through the include functions trying to track down where the children count get added to the parent categories, so I can suppress this function, but without any documentation for any of these functions it’s a nightmare… I’m a programmer, and I do pity the non-technical users trying to change a small display setting like this without having to hack so much undocumented code.

Nice to see that it took 2 months to get this accepted as a bug and properly reported. ?? And that the “reported by” isn’t me, but someone called “jsekera” apparently… :S

It’s the little touches like this that I am finding TRULY frustrating about WordPress – the lack of any proper documentation (yeah, help us by writing it YOURSELF) for a huge amount of complex PHP, pretty poor site layout to find what you are looking for in the documentation, if it exists anyway, and this “support” forum which isn’t staffed by anyone actually working on WP. I have questions to ask to sort out problems with parent/child categories, but is there any point me asking them here?
