  Hello
  1. I’d like to have sub-categories appear under its parent category on wordpress any theme for that matter.
  2. I’d like to have the amount of posts made in that category show in a form of numbers.
  Example:
  Computer Technology (200)
  -Hardware (100)
  -Software (100)
  with the Parent Category showing a total amount.
  How do I do this?

  Thanks if you can answer me.

  Those things are theme-dependent, I believe. Certainly the second one is.

  hmm I think theres a plugin for the sub categories. I’m trying to find it, having a hard time and too many 3rd party sites, not sure who to trust =(

  I am also trying to make a parent category with subcategories. I have done so in the “Manage” section, but the parent category does not appear on my blog– only the subcategories appear as normal. What might I be doing wrong? Does it mean my theme just doesn’t support this? Thanks for the help.
