Hide Post Count

The Category List sidebar module in K2 uses the template tag “wp_list_categories” and the code for it is located in sidebar.php in the root of the K2 folder. If you open the file and find the code “wp_list_categories(‘title_li=&show_count=1&hierarchical=0’);” remove “&show_count=1” from that and it should display how you want it to.

For a full list of arguments for “wp_list_categories” see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

HI,

Sorry i tried that and it didnt work – i should have mentioned that i am using the category access plugin……https://www.coppit.org/code/

Anyideas what might be causing them to keep showing?

Cheers

Andy

I have had a look at the code and even edited it on my website and it does not stop the count showing for me as well. This is the block of code that controls that sidebar widget;

<?php
			if (function_exists('wp_list_categories')) {
				wp_list_categories('title_li=&show_count=1&hierarchical=0');
			} else {
				list_cats(0, '', 'name', 'asc', '', 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,'','','','','');
			}
			?>

if you look at the list of numbers 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, the third number 1 in is the optioncount parameter of the list_cats tag. I also tried setting that to 0 but no luck.

I shall have a look around and try and find out the problem for you.

Hi, I got an answer for you. Open up categories.php under /app/modules/ inside your K2 folder and edit the lines

wp_list_categories('title_li=&show_count=1&hierarchical=0');

and

list_cats(0, '', 'name', 'asc', '', 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,'','','','','');

to

wp_list_categories('title_li=&show_count=0&hierarchical=0

and

list_cats(0, '', 'name', 'asc', '', 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0,'','','','','');

Thanks to Zeo at the K2 forums.

Hey there,

I opened that file, and that code is not contained in it – here is the only code in that file:

<?php

function categories_sidebar_module($args) {
extract($args);

echo($before_module . $before_title . $title . $after_title);
?>

<?php
if (function_exists(‘wp_list_categories’))
?>

<?php
echo($after_module);
}

register_sidebar_module(‘Category list module’, ‘categories_sidebar_module’, ‘sb-categories’);

?>

Perhaps the category access plugin i mentioned above is causing the problem – there are a few php files with options in the plugin……..?

Cheers

Seems like this is a question for those who know more about K2. What version of K2 and WP do you have?

Hi There,

Its Worpdress 2.1 and K2 version and K2 0.95 RC1 by Various Artists.

Hope this helps solve the mystery!

Cheers

Andy

I modified app/modules/categories.php to say this:
wp_list_categories(‘title_li=&show_count=0&hierarchical=0’);

and it removed the count for WP 2.1. Neither my Category Order or Category Access plugins have anything to do with it.

Hi,

Thanks for posting! I am new to PHP, can you cut and paste the exact code i should have in the whole file, like i have above – i am not good at modifying as i don’t know what to leave out and what to leave in!!

I have tried all variations of modifying, using the above posts as a guide – and they are still showing up……. ??

Hi again,

I have sidebar modules installed – could this be causing a conflict?

Andy

Thansk so much for all your help with this……… I really really appreciate it!
