 * – I just added a number of categories to my WordPress and then went into the 
   S2 settings to make them all Compulsory.
    – If I go into my subscribers I see
   that I have 310 registered users. And the number next to the “Out of Office” 
   category says 310 [http://note.io/1mey7xE](http://note.io/1mey7xE) – However 
   if I filter by this category it only shows 2 people [http://note.io/1jj6PXG](http://note.io/1jj6PXG)
 * Does my “Out of Office” group have 310 or 2? How can I subscribe everyone to 
   all lists by default?

 * You will see this when you make categories compulsory, basically only 2 of your
   subscribers have genuinely checked that category to receive those emails. By 
   forcing the category to be compulsory the setting is ignored and all subscribers
   get the email.
 * to make the numbers coherent filter on all registered users, scroll to the bottom
   of the page and use the bulk management section to actually subscribe all users
   to that category and then the filter will show all 310 users.
