# Adding postcontent to category count

 * I’m using wp_list_categories to display my categories with a count next to each
   category. I removed the parentheses from the category counts. How do I add the
   word “entries” after each count number? The code below is what I have currently.
 *     ```
       <?php
       $variable = wp_list_categories('title_li=&echo=0&show_count=1');
       $variable = str_replace(array('(',')'), '', $variable);
       echo $variable;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Below is an example of what I want this to look like:
    Category-1 2 entries Category-
   2 5 entries Category-3 4 entries
 * Help is appreciated.

 * Not tested, but it should work 🙂
 * <?php
    $variable = wp_list_categories(‘title_li=&echo=0&show_count=1’); $variable
   = str_replace( ‘(‘, ”, $variable); $variable = str_replace( ‘)’, ‘ entries’, 
   $variable); echo $variable; ?>
