Articles Count

[akhil-naidu]

The number of articles within a category and subcategory is not dynamic. Even though a number of new articles/posts are assigning to the category, the number of articles variable is not updating on the website.

I encountered the same bug. I think the easiest fix is to simply replace the article count with a static description of that category.

You can set the size manually by adding a size attribute in the category_list.yml file for each category. For example:

#This file defines all the categories you are using
account:
  name: My Account
  description: How to make changes and update your account
  size: 1
payments:
  name: Payments
  description: How to get your payment and more
  size: 17

in index.html I then swapped the category size code to

{% if category[1].size == 1 %}
    <p class="m-0">{{ category[1].size }} article</p>
 {% else %}
    <p class="m-0">{{ category[1].size }} articles</p>
{% endif %}`

I will let you know if I have any further issues.

NO!!!! Don't do that!!!! Let the blog do it automatically.

{% if category[1].size == 1 %}
    <p class="m-0">{{ category[1].size }} article</p>
 {% else %}
    <p class="m-0">{{ category[1].size }} articles</p>
{% endif %}`

Change it to

{% assign post_count = site.categories[category_name].size%}
{% if post_count == nil %}
    <p class="m-0">No article yet</p>
{% elsif post_count == 1 %}
    <p class="m-0">{{ post_count }} article</p>
{% else %}
    <p class="m-0">{{ post_count }} articles</p>
{% endif %}

Please make a pull requests, I'm too tired to make one
