Thread: Question about category counts

Question about category counts

I have a question about categories and sub category counts. My setup looks like this:

Breads (#)
Rolls (#)
Biscuits (#)
Buns (#)

It is as though the # of Breads would be something other than the sum of the sub categories. On the new listing page, it appears that the category "breads" could be selected alone.

Can I set the scheme up so that the parent category is not a choice for a new listing, but simply a container for the subcategories. I mean if you are a Bun, you are a Bread, if you get my drift.

Thanks
