Try this:

<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&title_li=') ?>

 

thx dear but where to put this lolz

 

Open your Dashboard - Theme Editor (may be http://www.smsdad.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php), click sidebar.php.

Looking for <?php wp_list_cats .......... ?>

Replace with <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&title_li=') ?>

 

Its not working, i tried again n again but its failed

 

is there any wordpress setting instead of coding?

 

its very simple actually. yo can see that working in my blog in the blog feed. here's how to do it:

once you are logged in, click on presentation/widgets

you should have categories 1 widget selected. click on that and there will be a popup window.

on the popup window, check the post count box and then save changes

 

try to read. coding kind an interisting.
if can't do that go to design --- widgets on wordpress 2.5
or go to presentation --- widget for wordpress 2.5 -

 

@sultanofseo you simply rocks man problem solved thankyou

 

i'm glad to help you. cheers
