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() ) : $my_query->the_post(); echo ‘<li><a href=”‘ . get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . ‘”>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</a></li>’; endwhile; echo ‘</ol>’; endif;
The function count_user_posts only accepts a user ID so you arguments are never taken in consideration. Here is a simple function to get the count by status function count_user_posts_by_status($post_status=”publish”,$user_id = 0){ global $wpdb; $count = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( ” SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = %s AND post_author = %d”, $post_status, $user_id ) ); return … Read more
You could do this by creating a custom WP_Query and then counting it. $args = array( ‘author’ => 1, ‘cat’ => 5, ); $my_query = new WP_Query( $args ); $my_count = $my_query->post_count; Just change 1 and 5 to the Author ID and Category ID respectively. Alternatively you can use the category slug or author’s nice … Read more

You already have the total post, so in order to get the total post within the last week, it’s better if you do this on your functions.php file: function get_posts_count_from_last_week($post_type=”post”) { global $wpdb; $numposts = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT COUNT(ID) “. “FROM {$wpdb->posts} “. “WHERE “. “post_status=”publish” “. “AND post_type= %s “. “AND post_date> %s”, $post_type, … Read more
You’ll need to register your own custom walker, but it’s pretty simple as you only need to have one function(start_el) inside the custom walker. We’ll have to add the code from the thread you referenced to work out how many items there are, then work out what half is and end the current list when … Read more
There is, unfortunately, no “pretty” way to do this (i.e. without using string replacing or rewriting a big chunck of functionality). So, resorting to preg_replace… We’ll need to filter the links, and it’s good to see that you’ve already found the proper filters! Looping through the views and using a regular expression, we can remove … Read more
Checking Daniel Llewellyn code and WordPress’ WP_Query reference, I realized that we need to pass an array of array within the tax_query parameter. Otherwise, it’d just return all post counts. Here is the little modified code: if ( ! function_exists( ‘ipt_kb_total_cat_post_count’ ) ) : /** * Simple function to get category post count including all … Read more
