 * G’Day,
    I already posted this in the documentation request forum, as I now know
   where the documentation is. However, now I am at the point where I do not know
   what is wrong so I am asking for help. Task: Looking to add the post count after
   my categories and on my archives. ( ex.. ) June ( 45 ) General ( 15 ) I need 
   some documentation on this, or if a hack has been created the link so I do not
   have to reinvent the wheel. Solution: <?php wp_list_cats(0, ‘All’, ‘name’, ‘asc’,”,
   1,0,1,1); ?> Problem: <?php wp_list_cats(0, ‘All’, ‘name’, ‘asc’, ”,1,0,1,1);?
   > I still do not get a post count…. [http://www.gravityworks.us/a.wpblog/](http://www.gravityworks.us/a.wpblog/)
   I appreciate any and all information. Kind regards, Stephen

 * You asked for one that listed category counts.
    The code you have above works
   for precisely that.

 * G’Day,
    The intersting thing about replies on this board is that they make no
   sense to us newbs…. Do you see a post count next to the general link equivilent
   to ( 1 ) ?? I do not… I need to know how to get it to say the number of posts
   in the general and any other category not to mention the archives Next to the
   link itself… Can someone please help me achieve this goal with something other
   then.. well it is doing what the code says it is doing… that makes no sense..
   Kind regards, Stephen

 * If you put what I gave you above (in another post here) inside your <div id=”
   menu”> -you need to edit index.php to do this, then you will see, on your blog,
   a list of all your categories, and next to each category, you will also see a
   numbet that equals the number of posts in that category.
    Like: Pets (23) News(
   14) If you want something that has the same effect for archives June (100) May(
   45) then you need to search for something like that here on the forums, or look
   at the template tags – get_archives being one – that was listed on your previous
   post.

 * wp_list_cats is the default .. came with the index.php.. there is NO list_cats
   in the index.php …
    I have been saying that it was WP_LIST_CATS since the first
   post.. I will try these new parameters…\ Now that worked… Now onto the archives..
   and I will research your comments above, before I come back here for help.. I
   will never post unless I have exhausted my patience.. Thanks…

 * G’Day,
    Here is the code for doing archives as well.. wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&
   show_post_count=true’); Thanks for the help, just wanted to post that here for
   a single solution. Kind regards, Stephen

 * From the apparent tone of your posts, it looks like you exhausted your patience
   somewhere already 😉 Glad the confusion was cleared up and you got the answer
   you wanted.
