I am trying to get my blog so that in the categories it shows how many posts are in each category. Is there plugin for that because I cannot find any way to do it nor a plug in that states that is what it is for. Also, how can I make it so that every post I make does not show up under "Recent Posts". I would like it to maybe show 5 but ALL of them are showing which just makes everything on the right nav bars move down. I like my websites clean and this just isnt doing it for me. Or are both these issues I am having a template problem??
is you template widgets friendly if yes then just visit widgets section from admin and you will be able to drag the individual widgets in to the sidebars and after placing them in the sidebars just click on them you will find the customization idea... hope it helps...
To get the number of posts next to category use: <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=1'); ?> Code (markup): For limiting the number of posts to five try: <?php get_archives('postbypost', 5); ?> Code (markup):
