    I am sure there is an option for it i just cant find it within the cp. If you go to touchscreentextbooks.com and look at the left side where it has the categories and lists them below it, I would like it to say something like Article (5) instead of just Articles


    Thanks!

    wp_list_categories('include=ID&title_li=&show_count=1&style=none');
    
    Code (markup):
    Hope this works for you! :)

    Haven’t you always longed to venture beyond the normal editing of number of posts in order to have control over CATEGORIES as well? Why not go Category-WISE!

    Okay, let’s say you have a blog called “How to speak fluent English?” You even have three categories in it namely-
    1) English learning tips, 2) English learning resources and 3) Fluent English in 15 days.

    For categories like “English learning tips” and “English learning resources”, there’s no problem as such because you update them regularly. But for the last category “Fluent English in 15 days”, you would surely want it to sound like an English learning course of 15 days, wouldn’t you?

    So, you want to have those 15 posts shown under the third category as a 15 days’ course of action.
    Moreover, let’s assume you want only 10 posts for the first and second categories.
