FAQ

Why is the category count incorrect in version 2.0?

WordPress only counts published articles as being ‘in’ a category so any drafts you have will not be reflected in the category count.

Version 2.1 replaced the built in WordPress function with a custom SQL query that properly reflects the category count for each post type and status of the posts.
