 * Archives Post Count Issue
 * It seems that every post I make counts as 5 posts on my Archives Widget Count.
 * My posts look normal (I have 14 posts that are live during May but 77 are displayed
   in Archives Widget Count!?)
 * Any Idea’s?

 * Don’t know what that widget does, so you might consider downloading and installing
   [Otto’s PHP Code Widget](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/),
   then something like this code in one of those widgets:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $num_posts = wp_count_posts( 'post' );
       echo '<p>' . 'Number of posts is '.$num_posts . '</p>';
       ?>
       ```

 * Thanks!
 * It was caused by a Plugin a forgot to disabled called Post Levels ([http://www.fortes.com/projects/wordpress/postlevels](http://www.fortes.com/projects/wordpress/postlevels)).
   It’s a old plugin that divides posts into different security levels (e.g 1 – 
   5) hence why the posts where multiplying!
 * I have installed Otto’s PHP Code Widget which is superb! makes it alot easier
   to customise requests!
 * Thanks Michael! Much appreciated!
