    Hi Scribu,

    Thank you for such an awesome plugin. I have come to use it in every project I do now. 🙂

    I have read through your site, the wiki and the source files for Posts 2 Posts but I cannot figure how to count the number of connections? I tried using php’s count function and wp_count_posts in varying combinations but to no avail.

    Do you have any thoughts?

    Thank you so much for your time!

    WP_Query actually has a variable for this:

    $connected = new WP_Query( array(
	'post_type' => 'page',
	'connected_from' => $post->ID
) );

echo $connected->found_posts;

    That will output the total number of connected posts found.

    I didn’t do anything. It comes from WordPress. 🙂
