Here we’ll use the function – get_categories()
to grab all the available categories and store it as array, Then we’ll loop through the array to display the list. Within the foreach loop we did a conditional check that is to determine if category is parent if so print it.
<?php
$categories = get_categories();
echo 'We have ';
foreach($categories as $category)
{
//to check if category is parent
if ($category->parent==0)
{
echo $category->count . ' ';
echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '">'. $category->name . '</a> , ';
}
}
?>
