wp_count_posts() does not seem to be loop dependant:
if the docu does not answer your question,
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_count_posts
you may need to describe in more detail where you want to use this.
(btw: the examples in the docu assign the results to variables; if you want to output the results, you would need to use the echo command.)
http://www.thetvstop.com/watch/ if you look at the TOP TV SHOWS, section on top you will see how I am trying to display post counts.
For some reason the default <?php count_posts(); ?> works to count the total number of posts.
However, the <?php count_posts(‘pages’); ?> function does not work. Any clues?
However, the <?php count_posts(‘pages’); ?> function does not work.
maybe because it does not exist?
have you read the docu?
if you want to show the number of published pages, try:
<?php
$count_pages = wp_count_posts('page');
echo $count_pages->publish;
?>
