   Hello,

   Is there any way to display number of published posts in a specific category?

   This code unfortunately displays number of all published posts, in all categories:
   

   <?php
   $published_posts = wp_count_posts()->publish;
   ?>

   Is there a solution?

   Thanks in advance .)

   You could always do something like this:
   

   $the_test_cat = get_category('5');
   $test_count =  $the_test_cat->category_count;

   Or with the template tag, wp_list_categories():

   List all categories with post count
   wp_list_categories('show_count=1');

   List category 5 with post count
   wp_list_categories('include=5&show_count=1');

   Or use the Category Widget with the Show Count checkbox checked.

   MichaelH, thank you, but i don't need the title of a category to be displayed, just the number of posts, without any link.
