Just as the title says. I am running the Mandigo Theme for Wordpress. It’s a great theme, so go give props to the author.

I was having trouble finding articles on how to make some minor changes to the theme to suit my tastes. Things like:

1) Changing the display of Categories to NOT show the number of articles like this:

2) Rid the site of these things:

So, for documentation purposes in case anyone stumbles upon it…here’s how they’re done:

Changing the display of Categories to NOT show the number of articles like this:

1) Navigate to sidebar.php
2) Search for the following string of code:

[php]
[/php]

3) Change “optioncount=1″ to “optioncount=0″

Sounds pretty easy, yes…but it took me a little while to find.

2) Rid the site of those little stars

1) Navigate to style.css.php
2) Find this snippet of code

[php].sidebars li {
list-style-image: url(images//star.gif);
}
[/php]

3) Delete it all.

Of course, it’s important that you BACK UP your pages before you make any changes, otherwise it will render your site completely inoperable.
