 * Hi friends,
    i’m having problems with this function on category.php
 * I’m trying to show the post count using this code:
 *     ```
       $cat = get_the_category(); $cat = $cat[0];
       echo $cat->category_count;
       ```
   
 * The problem is:
    When I access the category page like “category/category-name”
   the count is incorrect, but when i go to the page 2 or more like: “category/category-
   name/page/2” it’s right.
 * Some one had this issue and could help me please?
 * Thank you
