Listing Number Per Category?

Hi,
I am using this code and it is working.

<?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>’); ?>

Now, I can see the number of the posts in brackets.
I hope it helped you.

Peter

Where do you put this at?

into the sidebar.php
You should find out your way…
Here is my sidebar.php (but in this case I do not use widgets…)

<div id=”right”>

<div id=”sidebar”>

<?php /* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
• <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

<?php if ( is_404() || is_category() || is_day() || is_month() ||
is_year() || is_search() || is_paged() ) {
?>

• <?php /* If this is a 404 page */ if (is_404()) { ?>
  <?php /* If this is a category archive */ } elseif (is_category()) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the archives for the <?php single_cat_title(”); ?> category.</p>

  <?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> weblog archives
  for the day <?php the_time(‘l, F jS, Y’); ?>.</p>

  <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> weblog archives
  for <?php the_time(‘F, Y’); ?>.</p>

  <?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> weblog archives
  for the year <?php the_time(‘Y’); ?>.</p>

  <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_search()) { ?>
  <p>You have searched the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> weblog archives
  for ‘<?php the_search_query(); ?>’. If you are unable to find anything in these search results, you can try one of these links.</p>

  <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET[‘paged’]) && !empty($_GET[‘paged’])) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> weblog archives.</p>

  <?php } ?>

<?php }?>

<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>’ ); ?>

• <h2>Archives</h2>

<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>

<?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>’); ?>

<?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>

• <h2>Meta</h2>

<?php wp_register(); ?>
• <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
• Valid XHTML
• XFN
• WordPress
• Bob

<?php wp_meta(); ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div></div>

I have a L-sidebar.php file, would I put it there? SOrry, i’m new to this all. I have an understanding of how phpbb files work, but this is kinda confusing me.

L means left?
If this is the case doesn’t matter. You can copy into that.
I put the mentioned code in the place I wanted to see (after the Archives as you can see).
Try this way. (You can undo anytime just keep you original file in a sav place and can reupload if it doesn’t work.)
Or show me the L-sidebar.php and I try to solve your problem…
??
Just a question: do you use any widget on your sidebar?
Peter

The new theme i’m using has three columns, yet I don’t see a left_sidebar file. There’s a right sidebar file and a regular sidebar.php file?

Do you want me to post both of them?

And yes, I use widgets.

OK.
So, you use widgets… then: What about this?

Sorry, it is in Hungarian…

Megjelenés = Presentation
Oldalsáv = Sidebar
Kategóriák = Categories

If you can not find them try to send the sidebar.php (both) to me.

Oooops, one more question:
Which theme do you use?

Sorry… after the “What about this” there was a link about the admin panel. I try it again:

As you can see I am in hurry… ??

SPaeteur, thank you very much for giving the tips. I have mine working without cracking my head. However I have one small issue that I cannot seem to find the solution. the number appear below the category. I intend to place the number next to the category. is that possible ?

thanks in advance.

Bujuk

Good morning Bujuk,
Sorry, I was away a bit.
The line(s) should be like this:

<li><h2>Categories</h2>
<ul>

			<?php wp_list_categories("show_count=1&title_li="); ?>

</ul>
</li>

and this works for me. The numbers are next to the category names.
So, maybe you should copy this part of your code, just to have a look at it.
Peter
