Thanks David. Here’s what I’m hoping for:

First, I have an Att Category called birds.
Beneath it I have dozens of child categories, one for each species of bird.

My wish is to be able to output something like this:

“Current number of bird species: 54”
… where 54 is the ‘count’ of subcats under ‘birds’ cat

If the number has to occupy a separate line, no problem. Inline, tho, would be sweet.

The following presumes using either a ‘count’ query, or you iterate a temporary counter on your end.

Perhaps a simple (hah!) string constructor might be a solution:
[mla_term_list count att_category=birds] outputs an integer number by itself

or perhaps a bit more involved:
[mla_term_list count att_category=birds prefix=”Current number of birds: “]

and if you wanted to provide a flexible sentence constructor:
[mla_term_list count att_category=birds prefix=”Current number of birds: ” suffix=”!”]

Anyway, your kind consideration is appreciated. Just brainstorming w/ you. 😉

I’ve concluded that the issues I was experiencing were caused by the theme I was using. Some similar issues showed up in other plugins. Am resolving myself at this point.

Ok, that worked! And, in addition to having to add those lines to the Custom CSS, I also added the targeted CSS tags to the IC config.

So, I’m going to purchase your plugin — i.e. support your effort. So, may I make a suggestion?

These simple steps (setup and config) — unless I missed them — are not clearly and explicitly spelled out in the documentation. Perhaps you could kindly post a full and explicit “How to configure to work on your blog” section in either Installation or FAQ, etc.

Thanks. A really amazing concept. I love the ‘context commenting’ idea.

Good job.

UPDATE: Issue understood. Still, it is a bug you’ll want to squish.

The error was being thrown because I had only ONE slide in the configuration. As it looked for a ‘next slide’ (i.e. loadImages) it threw the error. Perhaps you could trap that condition and avoid the error.

Many thanks for a superb plugin.

I SCREWED UP. Posted this issue in the wrong product forum. I cannot find a way to delete, so PLEASE DISREGARD this message.

What help! Thanks. Your suggestions have restored function to the theme’s options panel.

There is one thing I notice, though. In the theme’s options panel I notice that none of the graphical elements are displaying… placeholders only. Looking at the code underneath the images I see this, as an example:

EDITED: (more code)
<li class=”redux-image-select”><label class=” redux-image-select-selected redux-image-select thinkup_homepage_layout_3″ for=”thinkup_homepage_layout_3″><input type=”radio” class=” compiler noUpdate noUpdate noUpdate ” id=”thinkup_homepage_layout_3″ name=”redux[thinkup_homepage_layout]” value=”option3″ checked=”checked”><img src=”REDUX_URLassets/img/2cr.png” alt=”2 Column Right” style=” width: 100%; “></label>

I’d think this could be an issue w/ the theme, but I see the Redux word and thought I should get your take on it. Please advise.

Thanks again.
