   I'm wondering if there's a way to display a category's real category_count, by including the category_count of its child (sub) categories? This request is somewhat similar to this support post, but that one only tells how to display a category's post count. In other words, I'd like to display

   Parent Category (10) >> Child Category (4)

   where the 4 posts in the child category are included in the 10 posts in the parent category (which in turn means that the parent category only really has 6 posts directly assigned to it).

   When you write the post, it seems semantic to put it in the child category and the parent category, since it is really part of both. The end result would be what you are looking for, too.

   True, but it's a little late now.

   Plus, I display categories by using a parent/child relationship, like Tech/Computers, Tech/Links. So it would be redundant to say Tech, Tech/Computers, Tech/Links.
