A simple help needed from php coder.

    I faced a problem which was due to possibly a bug in wordpress which was discussed here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/176526?replies=32

    To cut a long story short, I needed to call a category and the no of posts in it and have the information display on a page. Unfortunately [wp_list_categories or wp_list_cats] produces error messages when dealing with categories that have children.

    Due to my limited knowledge of php, I need a help from fellow coders to produce a query where it can count the no of posts and display it.

    It would probably look something like that but i’m not sure how to finish it off though..

    <?php query_posts(‘cat=ID’); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) …integer + 1 etc etc

    All i wanted at the end is for eg, Food 43 where 43 is the no of posts.

    Will any kind soul help me out please?

    Solved.

    Here is the solution for those who are interested.

    <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=1&offset=0&category=ID’);
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);

    function the_category_count( $cat_id ){
    $o = wp_cache_get( $cat_id, ‘category’ );
    print $o->count;
    }
    ?>

    • (<?php the_category_count(ID); ?>)

      • <?php endforeach; ?>
