 * Hi Diana how are you doing?
 * I’ve been looking for a way to show the post count next to the category in the
   dropdown menu like this:
 * menu item cat
    -sub cat ([post count]) –posts
 * I thought it be easy to do but i am quite stuck… Is there a Post Navigation Label
   I could add for this?
 * Thank,
 * Nick

 * Hi nmvdvjr,
 * the Post Navigation Label is for posts (and pages), not for categories. My plugin
   does not manipulate the category menu item, aside from removing it whenever applicable.
   Therefore, you cannot currently achieve this with my plugin.
 * Given the limited time I have available right now, I will not be extending the
   plugin any further until I’ve found time to resolve a pending issue. Regardless,
   I hope you will find the plugin useful as-is.
 * Kind regards,
    Diana
