Catagory Sidebox - delete # of items

The default setting for the Catagory sidebox displays the number of items available in each catagory. How do I turn that off. I just want a catagory listing.

I also want to make the font a little larger.

Anybody with some quick answers.

YOu all so wonderful. Many thanks in advance.

OP,

To turn off Category Counts this is What you will need to do.

1. Login to your admin area.

2. Hover over 'Configuration' and click on 'My Store'

3. Scroll down to 'Show Catagory Counts' and click on it.

4. Set to 'False' & Click 'Update'

Admin > Configuration > My Store > Show Category Counts.

You can control the categories font size in a number of different ways, depending on how much of it you want to enlarge.
In your stylesheet, add your choice of:```
/to control all category text including the header/
#categories {
font-size: 1.2em;
}
/to control all of the category box text/
#categoriesContent {
font-size: 1.2em;
}
/to control just the top category names and all/featured/etc.
(leaving subcats a bit smaller)/
a.category-top, a.category-links {
font-size: 1.2em;
}

Wow! that was easy. I guess I missed that. I was looking everywhere for that. Many thanks.

Thank you Glen. Where is this style sheet? I am pretty much a novice here and was hoping to stick with admin controls.

I suspect you haven't created a custom template folder yet, so your next step should be to read the FAQ/tutorials on that so you can proceed on a sound foundation.

I've turned off the # of items but I still have -> after my catagories.
How do u get ride of them?

Configuration > Layout Settings > a bunch of settings for this general topic:

Categories Separator between links Status 1
Categories Separator between the Category Name and Count
Categories Separator between the Category Name and Sub Categories  
Categories Count Prefix  (
Categories Count Suffix )
Categories SubCategories Indent   

This is the one you are asking about:

Categories Separator between the Category Name and Count

and you may also want to customize some others. Play with them in your custom template and see what happens; just keep the original copy in /template_default/ so you can go back if you want.

Thanks the

Categories Separator between the Category Name and Count worked.

Happy New Year.
