estorenow template: Category Counts Not Show

[wokaozabuxing]

The file would probably be /includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php.
Compare it to /includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php to find the differences.

Thank you gjh42. Yes, you're right. I've changed sth, and what it looks like pls see my site www.letovn.com for reference. But it's not in the line of the category name. May I know what I should modify next? Pls see the following code for reference. Tks!!

The custom file has added code to make <ul><li> lists, so the standard location for the counts will not work. Probably the easiest way to fix this is to move the code

      if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') {
        if ((CATEGORIES_COUNT_ZERO == '1' and $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] == 0) or $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] >= 1)         {
          $content .= CATEGORIES_COUNT_PREFIX . $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] . CATEGORIES_COUNT_SUFFIX;
        
      }   

       } 

from where you show it to each place where <li> elements are closed. Replace this in two places

$content =$content.'</a></li>';

with this

          $content =$content.'</a>';
          if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') {
            if ((CATEGORIES_COUNT_ZERO == '1' and $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] == 0) or $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] >= 1) {
              $content .= CATEGORIES_COUNT_PREFIX . $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] . CATEGORIES_COUNT_SUFFIX;
            }
          }
          $content =$content.'</li>';

Hi there I was wondering if you could post your php that you updated, I am having the same issue with my site and I see your site is now working correctly...I would greatly appreciate it!
