Lets say I have a parent 'cars' and childs 'bmw' and 'toyota'

Cars(0)
-BMW(5)
-Toyota(3)

I enabled 'Display Number of Nodes' that's why it show as above.. I have 5 items listed as BMW and 3 as Toyota.. shouldn't 'Cars' be 8 instead of 0? How do I set to make it appear as 8 so that when I click on 'Cars' it will show all 8 cars?

Thanks!

I'll answer this myself.. just enable 'Display Descendants' and it worked...

however it broke the pathauto module, instead of showing this -> http://www.example.com/category/testing/cars
it now shows this -> http://www.example.com/taxonomy/term/30%2031

anyone uses pathauto module encounter this?

Thanks in advance!

The menu needs to be rebuilt whenever the numbers change. To do this, follow these steps:

(1) Surf to the configuration page for the vocabulary (http://www.example.com/admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/13).
(2) Check the "Select to rebuild the menu on submit" checkbox.
(3) Click "Save".

The parents should now be showing the correct totals.

Well, they are supposed to change automatically. Make sure you upgrade to the latest version 2.5. There were several bugs in 2.3 with updating the menu when a node was deleted or updated.

If this is still occurring when you upgrade to 2.5 then please either reopen this issue or tag on to another one ;)
