If you create and save a new post with all the categories checked, that should correctly reset the counts so that the number of posts in each category is set correctly.

I would like to know this also.

The issue: Posting ten posts on the front page, but have one category that is only allowed one post among those ten.

The best I have come up with so far:

This is ugly… but… the category in question (“Daily News Digest”) is typically posted once a day first thing in the morning.

The best I have come up with is to run the loop twice.

1. The first time the loop looks for posts from today only (probably includes one from the “Daily News Digest” category).
2. The second time the loop looks for posts not from today and excludes that one category.

I don’t know how to do that in a way that would control for the number of posts on the front page. I could set a number of posts for the second query, say… 8. But we wouldn’t know how many posts the first query would turn up, so the front page would have 8 to 13 or so posts.

As I say, this feels like a kludge.

Does anyone have a better thought on this?

If it helps, you can see the website, Doc’s Political Parlor, to get a sense of what I am talking about.

Can’t you go to the new post page for your blog, note the url and make a link to that? For example, it would probably something like

https://yoursite/wp-admin/post.php

Logged in users with the proper access levels should go straight to the page for creating new posts.

I also get a horizontal scrollbar for a page barely wider than the screen.

FYI, using XP and Firefox 1.0.7.

Looks really nice.
