WP_Query can be used to determine the number of posts contained within a category and its subcategories. In the code below, set the terms parameter to whatever the parent category ID is. The include_children parameter ensures that WP_Query will include posts within subcategories. We can then use $query->post_count to get the total number of posts … Read more
Why not just get the count for each post type and sum them? function get_all_them_ven_posts(){ $count= 0; $post_types = [ ‘postType1’, ‘postType2’, ‘postType3’ ]; foreach( $post_types as $post_type ) { $count_posts = wp_count_posts( $post_type ); $count = $count + $count_posts->publish; } return $count; }
Based on what you mentioned in the comments, I threw out the original answer. If what you want to do is count the rows of a table contained in the post content, then all you really are doing is counting the <tr> tags to get the rows (assuming that all <tr> tags are to be … Read more
Another solution would be to use an ordered list. $my_query = new WP_Query($args); if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : echo ‘<ol style=”list-style:decimal”>’; while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); echo ‘<li><a href=”‘ . get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . ‘”>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</a></li>’; endwhile; echo ‘</ol>’; endif;
How about direct sql with a simple subquery to first get all the post ids of your custom post type ex: function get_all_comments_of_post_type($post_type){ global $wpdb; $cc = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(comment_ID) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID in ( SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type=”$post_type” AND post_status=”publish”) AND comment_approved = ‘1’ “); return $cc; } Usage: $total_comments = get_all_comments_of_post_type(‘some_post_type’);
Inclusion and exclusion are often reversible. “Not this” (exclusive) is equal to “All of that, skipping this” (inclusive). If in general the function does precisely what you need, you could just make a full list of user IDs and throwing the current one out.
$base_array = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘fields’ => ‘ids’, ‘post_type’ => ‘cpt’, ‘post_status’ => array(‘publish’), ‘date_query’ => array( ‘before’ => ‘next Saturday’, ‘after’ => ‘last Monday’ ), ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘pas_here_taxonomy’ ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘hardware’, ‘software’), ‘operator’ => ‘IN’ ) ); $base = get_posts($base_array); echo count($base);
Use get_the_terms() and count the resulting array: print count( get_the_terms( $post->ID, ‘category’ ) ) . ‘ categories’;
WP_Query provides some useful properties. There are two of them which you could use: $post_count – The number of posts being displayed (if you not pass posts_per_page argument to WP_Query construct it will return at most 5 posts) $found_posts – The total number of posts found matching the current query parameters (so if you have … Read more
I ended up writing my own custom code for wp_count_posts() and wp_count_comments() to generate the counts from scratch (through custom wp queries) based on their original code (wp_count_posts() is in wp-includes/post.php and wp_count_comments() is in wp-includes/comment.php). Thanks @kaiser for the excellent effort.
