   Hello,

   I want to show the total number of posts in my database.

   I found this:

   <?php
   $count_posts = wp_count_posts();
   ?>

   But it doesn't seem to show anything. How can I, simply, without a plugin, show the number of posts in the database?

   Thanks,

   Jon

   <?php
   $count_posts = wp_count_posts();
   $published_posts = $count_posts->publish;
   echo '<h1>There are '   .  $published_posts  .  ' published posts</h1>' ;
   ?>

   That shows published posts. Not sure how you show total number of posts e.g. drafts as well unless do that separately and then add them up
