Add Post Count to Categories in Andreas04 2.0

Once again I have tweaked the Adreas04 2.0 Theme. I didn’t feel like writing yesterday (that’s for tomorrows post) but still wanted to get something accomplished. I was looking for a way to split the double right sidebar into a left and a right setup to alliviate the (over)crowding on the one side.

As you can see, I couldn’t figure it out, so I changed direction. I also wanted to show the Post Count in the Category List. I already Alphabetized it the other day, and thought this would make a good ready view of the Category contents.

This is the way I added Post Count to Categories:

Look for this code in the sidebar php

h2 categories /h2
 ul class=”sellLi”

?php wp_list_cats (’ ‘); ?

or this, if you used the code to Alphabetize

?php list_cats(0, ”,’ name’,'ASC’, (/), true, 0, 0);  ?

Replace it with

?php wp_list_cats (’sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0′); ?

As usual, don’t forget to use the “less than” and “greater than” signs at the beginning and end of the statement. (To all of you that recommended using the & amp ; lt thing, I did and it DIDN’T WORK).

I hope you find these suggestions helpful.  They can be adapted to any WordPress Theme for similar results, you just need to experiment.
