15626,get_terms bug: pad_counts doesn't work if you specify parent,yeswework,,"I'm not sure if this is related to #13176 or not.

Anyway, to explain the bug with an example: 

Let's say you want to retrieve, via get_terms, a list of the top level categories only (by setting parent=0), but that you want the counts to include any posts assigned to subcategories too (pad_counts=1).

$categories=get_terms('category', 'pad_counts=1&parent=0');

This doesn't work: as soon as you specify parent=, it stops including the subcategory count within the parent categories. A bug, surely?

I've traced the cause to line 842 of taxonomy.php, where it checks 
if ('' !== $args['parent'])
and if so, sets pad_counts back to 0.

Why is that check needed at all?",enhancement,new,normal,Future Release,Taxonomy,2.8,normal,,2nd-opinion,info@… yeswework mark@… andyadamscp@…
