WordPress.org

Hello, I want to remove the category "count" numbers in parentheses when my categories are listed. I understand the 0 and 1 values more or less, but looking at the code below it seems my theme is a little more complicated than simply changing the 1 to a 0. I tried doing that and it had no effect at all. Can anyone help? THANK YOU.

<?php
}

function widget_mytheme_categories($args) {
extract($args);
$options = get_option('widget_categories');
$c = $options['count'] ? '1' : '0';
$h = $options['hierarchical'] ? '1' : '0';
$title = empty($options['title']) ? __('Categories') : $options['title'];
?>
