Wordpress Question

[DnEbook]

Sorry to bother you with such a simple question , but i have no one to ask, i am having some fun with my domain hack worldne.ws and i wish to be able to display how many articles there are under each category , so on the righthand side where it says 'categories' i wish to display how many posts in each category . example , the harlem cafe has 2 posts , i wish to have the number 2 next to the harlem cafe , the world events has 17 posts , i wish to display 17 next to world events

But i just cant find where to turn on this small feature ???

I would be grateful if anyone could steer me the correct direction

i have the blog 3-d.com.au .... where they appear automatically ??

thanks !

Did You figure it out?

Where the code shows:

 <?php wp_list_categories('arguments'); ?>

You need to put in

show_count=1

1 representing 'yes i want to show post count'
0 representing 'no hide the post count' which is the default

inside or underneath ...... i didn't consider some one would show me the answer in code , and what part example header , body , i think i find the code in settings ?

thanks

It would be in sidebar.php
Look for the code <?php wp_list_categories('arguments'); ?>
Then insert the code show_count=1

So the final piece of code would be

<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1'); ?>

Although this may depend on whether you are using widgets, if so I'm sure there will be the option in the Dashboard to select that option (I don't use widgets much so I'm not 100% sure on that side of things)

maybe i can do that ?

.....thanks heaps

i went there and found

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

i saved and then deleled it , then put in the piece you gave me , but it didn't work ? so i put back the old piece

I am going to compare it to one i have that works

3-d.com.au

and see if i can spot any differences ?
