Hierarchical Dropdown with Direct Count
Description: Displays parent-child relationships with visual indentation showing direct post counts (excludes children). Note: While the count shows only direct posts for each term, selecting a parent term filters all posts including its children, which may result in more posts than the displayed count indicates. This demonstrates WordPress’s standard counting behavior.
