Re: categories

If you’re looking for a list of categories with a number behind each category that shows in how many articles the category was used, have a look at these category plugins at textpattern.org

Re: categories

Not what I am really looking for. It’s more of a blog stat. So like a total number of categories used for articles. I guess I would have to do that manually.

Re: categories

you could try:

<txp:php>
echo safe_count('txp_category', "type='article'") - 1;
</txp:php>
