get_categories returns (sub)categories with drafts

[illutic]

As stated in ​this topic, categories with drafts only are also included in the get_categories list.

The code I'm using (to get subcategories, it's inside functions.php):

/* subcategories */
	$args = array(
					'type'			=> 'post',
					'child_of'		=> $id
				);
    foreach (get_categories($args) as $cat)
	{
    	echo '<p><span class="subcategory">';
						
        $apps = $cat->category_count == 1 ? 'apartment' : 'apartments';
		
        echo '<a href="'.get_category_link( $cat->cat_ID ).'">'.$cat->cat_name.'</a> <small> ('.$cat->category_count.' ' . $apps . ')</small>';
        if ($cat->category_description != '')
		{
        	echo '<br />'.$cat->category_description . ' <a href="'.get_category_link( $cat->cat_ID ).'">View the apartments &raquo;</a>';
        }
        
		echo '</span></p>';
	} // end foreach

the code from ​this post resolves this issue.

I can't reproduce this. Related to #14344 ?

This is merely a consequence of #14076

Or rather #14084, to be more exact.

I'm not sure how my ticket would be related to 14344, #14076 or #14084. All three tickets are about the count that is being displayed.
I am talking about actually displaying the posts where drafts are included.

The code you provided as an example doesn't display any posts.

Also, if the post count didn't include draft posts, those subcategories wouldn't show up unless you set 'hide_empty' => false. That's why it's a duplicate.
