number of posts in one category

<?php
//display post count for category 63
$categories=get_categories('include=63');
if ($categories) {
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo 'post count is ' . $category->count;
}
}
?>

thanks!

so, i replace “63” with my category name?

You would replace 63 with your category ID.

Or change this:

$categories=get_categories('include=63');

to

$categories=get_categories('include='.get_cat_ID('your category name here'));

Perfect! It worked!!!! Thanks again!

This works for what i am trying to do but how could i modify it to get the count for each of my categories…

Change this:
$categories=get_categories('include=63');

to

$categories=get_categories();
