 Replying to [comment:2 knutsp]:
 > I think it's by design that the count is only for posts explicitly
 connected to that category.

 Correct. This was previously discussed in #1062.

 There's a `pad_counts` parameter in `get_terms()` for retrieving the
 counts including child terms: [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-
 includes/taxonomy.php#L1152

 The parameter can also be passed to `wp_dropdown_categories()` and
 `wp_list_categories()`, although it's not documented there: [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-includes/category-
 template.php#L323 [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-includes/category-
 template.php#L429

 > Always add the parent category when a child is added, manually or
 enforced through a plugin.

 Related: #16397.

 Closing as a duplicate of #1062.
