Category List – showing post count inline

[phil1066]

Hi Jason – is there any way to show the count of posts, in the category post list on the same line as the category description itself? I have played around with the widget but it puts them on the next line down, e.g.:

Get this:
Photography
(5)

Want this:
Photography (5)

Couldnt see it, hope im not being dim (again)

Can I see a link to the issue? It’s probably just a minor CSS thing.

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

.fixed-sidebar .widget_categories ul li a { display: inline-block; }

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.

Thanks Jason – that worked nicely. Will see if I can get to grips with Firebug.
