   Hi guys,

   I'd like to list, in a fancy way and outside the loop, some categories and how many posts they include.

   For instance, I've found this useful info.

   But, why this other code isn't working for me ?

   <?php
   
   	$cat_posts = get_posts('category_name=BLAH');
   
   	echo
   		'<h5 class="italic">There are '
   		. count($cat_posts) .
   		' Posts in <a href="http://url.com/blog/category/blah/">BLAH CATEGORY</a></h5>';
   
   ?>

   For some cats is working, for other it shows me less than there are.

   Here I found and easy, clean way too

   <?php
   $mycats=get_categories ('include=14');
   echo 'my cat count is '. $mycats[0]->category_count;
   ?>

   That's working perfectly.
