List all post categories with post count

Simply copy and paste the following snippet into a code block. It already cycles through all posts so do not put this into a repeater/loop.

<?php
$categories = get_categories(array(
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'order'   => 'ASC'
));

if (!empty($categories)) {
    echo '<ul>';
    foreach($categories as $category) {
        $category_link = get_category_link($category->term_id);
        echo '<li><a href="' . esc_url($category_link) . '">' . $category->name . ' (' . $category->count . ')</a></li>';
    }
    echo '</ul>';
} else {
    echo '<p>No categories found.</p>';
}
?>
