If this is for list_cats (or wp_list_cats), then you can only change them by editing the source, since they’re hardcoded.
In wp-includes/template-functions-category.php near the end of the file (line 243 in 1.5.1), look for this code black (line 348 in 1.5.1):
if (intval($optioncount) == 1) {
$link .= ' ('.intval($category_posts["$category->cat_ID"]).')';
}
Just modify ‘ (‘ and ‘)’ in the $link string.
When editing source code, backup up any files you’re working on, and comment your changes for future reference.
Worked like a dream. Thank you.
Hi,
Didn’t want to start another thread to ask this – is there anyway to remove the post count completely? I tried modifying the code but kept getting errors.
Managed to work around it by setting ‘if (intval($optioncount) == 1)’ to ‘if (intval($optioncount) == 0)’, but I’d prefer to remove it if possible.
Thanks,
Alex
Just change the call in your theme template:
wp_list_cats() and/or list_cats()
Edit: Damn, I must type slow. 😛

Just follow the links above and check the info on the ‘optioncount’ parameter. You’re probably setting this in your template tag (since it’s off by default).
I changed the template-functions-category.php back to normal and turned off optioncount in the theme. Works perfectly now, thanks for that! (Promise I’ll check the Wiki next time – ended up ignoring it because the text was scrambled in Safari, time to use Firefox methinks)
Cheers,
Alex
It might be a good idea to enable a GUI interface to change these settings in Admin CP.
This is a beautiful piece of “software”, and I’m sure many would rather be able to know their modifications will work, rather than risk losing it all (assuming they dont backup).
