There is no coding involved here. WordPress has already a build in widget for this function. If you go to the “Widgets” screen. you’ll see that there are a widget called Categories
You can drag and drop that to your sidebar where you need to display the widget. When you’ve done that, the widget will open, from there you can tick the ‘Show post counts’ box to display the post count of the categories.
