Support » Fixing WordPress » The number of categories disappeared

  • Hello, after I updated to 2.5.1 there’s no value that shows the number of articles in each category. How can I fix that, since it’s kind of bugging me right now.

    Thanks.

  • where? in the sidebar or the admin panel?

    I really love it when people barely write a sentence when asking questions. If you can’t express it, then take a screenshot.

    Sorry, you are right, my bad. I meant the categories on the main page of the blog. You know, on the sidebar.

    Here’s a printscreen: http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/1107/clipboard02oo5.jpg

    well if they were there before 2.5 they should be there after 2.5, like mine in my sidebar (on a 2.5.1 blog).

    I don’t know, but maybe you’re using a widget or something…if you are, then I can’t really advise you – beyond checking the widget options.

    If you’re not using a widget, then check the sidebar.php template in your theme, and look for the wp_list_categories function and make it read something like:

    wp_list_categories('show_count=1');

    you can find a full list of options on the codex page:

    Thank you, yes I am using the widgets.

    P.S. I have another question. Here’s the site: http://cwalkmedia.com/ is there a chance for me to move the menus a little more to the left? I’ve been said yesterday that it’s not possible. I’d madly appreciate if you reply back.

    sure, that should be fairly easy.

    if there isn’t one already add this to your styles.css file:

    .widget_style ul,
    .widget_style ul li {
        margin-left: 0;
        padding-left: 0;
    }

    adjust to suit your taste.

    ^Oh, man, it seems that it can’t go more to the left beyond this space that I marked.

    Here’s what happens:

    Notice how the arrows blended with the text right in front of the blue area…

    right, right… you’ll just have to play with the zeros until you get something you like… but either way, it aint going more left than that.

    ^Mmmm, can’t I do something to make it go more to the left?

    Hello, I am hoping you might be able to help me out!

    Yesterday I edited some of my posts in one of the categories and when I went back in to see if it worked out correctly I found that the category I was working on was missing. It had been there before I started to edit the posts.

    When I go to Managae Categories, the category that I am missing is still listed. When I tried to delete it, I was told that all posts assigned to that category would go to my main area.

    When I went to the main area, the posts did not show, however when I went to manage posts they were all listed under the main category.

    Any suggestions! This one category was one of the important categories on my site!

    Thanks in advance!

    Catherine
