   Hi all,

   I'm developing my own theme, and in doing so, need to structure the category sidebar widget like so:

   <ul>
   <li>
   <a>CATEGORY NAME<span>PostCountWithOUTParenthesis</span></a>
   </li>
   ...
   </ul>

   And the default way it works is:
   

   <ul>
   <li>
   <a>CATEGORY NAME</a> (PostCount)
   </li>
   </ul>

   I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this? Thank you - it's greatly appreciated!

   try to add something like this to functions.php of your theme:

   add_filter('wp_list_categories', 'cat_count_span_inline');
   function cat_count_span_inline($output) {
   $output = str_replace('</a> (','<span> ',$output);
   $output = str_replace(')','</span></a> ',$output);
   return $output;
   }

   it will output your structure for all the wp_list_categories() in your theme, where 'show post count' is ticked.
