Is there a way to remove the "(" in the category post-count

I hired someone to remove the “(“, but after updating the plugin, the “(” is back.

He told me the file is “/3.6/class/avh-ec.core.php”

But I lost contact with him and don’t know what line of code to change in that file.

Please help.

Looks like lines 714 and 737 right now, but I wouldn’t edit the plugin file for exactly the reason you describe. It doesn’t look like something you can necessarily hook into and fix via your functions.php file either.

BTW, there is a 4.2 folder now, so it is actually lines 718 and 741. If you feel you must edit the plugin:

Change
$link .= '(';
to
// $link .= '(';

and

$link .= ')';
to
// $link .= ')';
