Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 minderdl]:
 > I'm not sure about this approach. The line with the counts is above the
 filters. Therefore, it's not on the same level.

 I think this ticket is about a custom list table built by a custom query,
 not about the All dates/All categories filters.

 [attachment:30250.diff] does not seem like a correct solution here.

 We should introduce something like
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_clauses
 'posts_clauses' filter], but specific to the query in `wp_count_posts()`.

 We could also add a third parameter, `$args`, and use WP_Query to get post
 IDs and use them in the `WHERE` clause, but that seems out of the scope of
 this ticket.
