If you’re asking for help with your theme (and you are) a link to it is beyond priceless for the folks who may be able to help.
wp_list_cats is deprecated with WP 2.1. Use wp_list_categories and show_count.
v 2.1.2
I’m misunderstanding that answer. I did the what Alakhnor said and the category numbers still come out underneath the words…
Maybe I was too subtle?
A link to your blog, where this can be observed, would be really helpful.
If that’s not possible, perhaps sharing with us the theme name (if not homemade) would be a reasonable substitute.
You’re asking for help with CSS, but not giving anyone a look at what you currently have.
Same here. Here’s my line of code:
<?php wp_list_categories(‘title_li=&sort_column=name&show_count=1’); ?>
http://marketingmeasure.com
Here’s my site.
And my line in CSS:
<?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=name&optioncount=1&hide_empty=0’); ?>
Here is my theme – rockinbizred3col 1.2
Theme is Vertigo Enhanced.
And I DID give my entire css file in a previous post but my query was ignored so I didn’t want to give it again.
My url is http://marketingmeasure.com.
Be happy to post my css again if you like. Thanks for your help!
I think the problem is that the links to the categories are displayed as blocks (display: block in your CSS), this forces the post counts to the next line. There’s a line in your CSS that was probably put there to prevent this (#l_sidebar ul.categories li a {display: inline;}) but it doesn’t work because it should say li#categories instead of ul.categories. Hope that helps.
Thanks Joyce – your input pushed me along to the answer. I went out and found a theme that had numbered categories, copied the code and pasted it into the spot where the undesired code was. I went to the style sheet and changed the display to ‘inline’ and it worked!
Problem solved!
Thanks!
🙂 Wanna share with the rest of us what that code was??
Let’s try this again……..
Problem: Category post counts defaulting to the next line.
My function line: <?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=1&title_li=&sort_column=name’); ?>
My relevant CSS:
/************************************************
* Left Sidebar *
************************************************/
#l_sidebar {
float: left;
width: 225px;
margin: 25px 0px 0px 20px;
padding: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
border-top: 2px solid #000000;
}
#l_sidebar ul {
list-style: inline;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#l_sidebar ul li {
display: inline;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#l_sidebar ul li a {
display: block;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
}
#l_sidebar ul li a:hover {
background: #EFEFEF;
color: #910156;
}
#l_sidebar p{
padding: 3px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px;
line-height: 20px;
}
Can someone please tell me with some authority where the error is? Please.
Alstatten, my previous reply was actually directed to you. Add this line to your CSS:
li.Categories li a { display: inline }
Yes, I know. But I haven’t been able to get any combination to work. I’ve tried:
This: #l_sidebar li.Categories li a { display: inline }
This: li.Categories li a { display: inline }
This: #l_sidebar ul li a {
display: block;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
}
This: #l_sidebar li.Categories li a {
display: block;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
}
This: #l_sidebar li.Categories li a {
display: inline;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
}
Nothing works. Please advise.
