Title: Category counts confusing Last modified: January 10, 2017 --- # Category counts confusing * [ghloch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ghloch/) * (@ghloch) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-counts-confusing/) * Hi, running configuration with WP 4.7 and UAM 1.2.14. And there are some confusing problems with category counts. Category count is 0, but there exist one ore more posts with that category. * What I can see is: If category itself is not restricted to a role, but posts within the category are restricted to roles, category shows 0. If category is restricted to a role and the posts are restricted to same role, category count is right. If category role and posts roles are not the same, post count shows 1 or another number which is not correct. To solve the problems with not shown posts in menu I deactivated “hide empty categories” in settings, but now I have to watch that manually. * With tags it seems to be similar, but I had not yet time to analyze to be sure.

This was the last version all worked fine for me. What I described upon has totally confused handling of categories so it is currently not possible to hide empty categories. That would help me. Thanks Guido * [digilb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digilb/) * (@digilb) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-counts-confusing/#post-8719464) * Hi, * I have the same problem: my website has 3 categories. Two of them show the correct count. The other shows ‘1’, but 377 is the correct number. When I disable the UAM plugin, it shows the correct number. When I install an older version of the UAM plugin, my site won’t load anymore. I use WP 4.7.2 * Thanks, Luuk - This reply was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by [digilb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digilb/). * Plugin Author [gm_alex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gm_alex/) * (@gm_alex) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-counts-confusing/#post-8839272) * Your issue isn’t forgotten, but currently I’m working on the new version which takes all my time. Because of the lack of possibilities related to the overview of the WordPress support area for plugin authors I ask you to recreate your issue here: [https://github.com/GM-Alex/user-access-manager/issues](https://github.com/GM-Alex/user-access-manager/issues) So I can fix it for the next release. Please resolve the issue here if you recreated the issue on GitHub and post the link to the new issue. Thank you very much.
