Here’s a solution:
<?php
$categories = get_categories();
echo '<ul>';
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo '<li><a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '">' . $category->name.'</a>';
echo '<span class="cat-count"> ' . $category->count . _n(' Entry', ' Entries', $category->count ) . '</span></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
?>
Not ideal. This code lists categories alphabetically without preserving sub-category hierarchy. But it does sort singulars from plurals.
I think I can use the _n function to sort singular and plural.
I guess that would look something like: _n( '1 Entry', '%s Entries', $count )
But I don’t know where or how to insert that into my code.
I know I need to replace
Entries</span>
with a variable that returns
Entry</span>
when the category count=1 and
Entries</span>
when the count >1.
But I don’t know PHP well enough to figure out how to make this work.
