So, I was wondering if there was a way to list the number of entries in a category. I looked in the documentation and saw how to list the entry titles in a category, but all I really want to do is list the number of entries in the category. Is that possible or should I just keep track by hand? (;
(I’m doing Blog 365 and I wanted to keep track on the side how many posts had actually gone up for the year…)

Is this what you are looking for… Wiki ... Category Count?

IT looks like - though I just want to do one SPECIFIC category, not all of them. Any thoughts on how to modify that code for that?
(THanks for this! I feel dumb now (; )

I’m not that good with queries, I always have to play around with them, but I would think the second example would work by giving it the specific category id you want…untested and the cat id may need enclosing quotes…
FROM exp_category_posts WHERE exp_category_posts.cat_id = 1 “}
Actually, you could strip down the first example for a specific cat id also.
