   Hey there together,

   I ran into yet another problem that I can't seem to figure out even after searching the forum and consulting Google...

   On my category archive page I want to display the number of posts from the category the user is just looking at. And I don't want to install yet another plugin to do that, there must be some simple one lince code that I could just add to the template file.

   Any help would be highly appreciated!

   Thanks a lot,
   Martin

   <?php
   $cat = get_query_var('cat');
   $categories=get_categories('include='.$cat);
   if ($categories) {
     foreach($categories as $category) {
       echo 'Posts in this category = ' . $category->count;
     }
   }
   ?>

   Thanks a lot Michael. That worked. Would you be able to let me know the same kind of code to use to display the total number of posts within a monthly archive?

   display the total number of posts within a monthly archive

   <?php
   if ( is_month() ) {
   $month = get_query_var('monthnum');
   $year = get_query_var('year');
   $countposts=get_posts("year=$year&monthnum=$month");
   echo 'the count of posts in ' . $month .'/'.$year . ' is '  . count($countposts);
   }
   ?>

   What's the code to display the number of post for just one particular category? For example: Comic.

   Thanks!

   Hi 67thavenue,

   Try this code where 123 is the ID of the category. This will single out just that category.

   <?php
   $cat = get_query_var('cat');
   $categories=get_categories('include=123'.$cat);
   if ($categories) {
     foreach($categories as $category) {
       echo '' . $category->count;
     }
   }
   ?>
