    Im using a front end post plugin where users can post directly from front page.
    I want to limit users from posting more then 5 posts but i dont know how to.

    I want something backend so it works with the front end post plugin. So i can place the code inside the plugin.

    When users tries to post his 6 post it will redirect or give an error message saying you reached maximum post limit or something.

    I have tryied limit post plugin and it didnt work: https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-posts/

    >> Im using a front end post plugin <<

    Which one? Check with its developers as there may be hooks you can use to modify its behavior.

    and it hasn’t been indexed by hookr.io http://hookr.io/plugins/#index=d

    That plugin is over 5 years out of date. You really should look into using something else.

    If you want to keep using it, you’ll have to modify its code to get a number of posts by the author and logic to decide what to do when the count exceeds your limit.

    Ok still not solving it.

    So lets think.

    Get user post count.
    If user post count 100
    Do this
    else
    Do this

    That’s pretty much it

    But I’d look for a different plugin for front end posting, one that has support.

    Ok so i put this code in the front end plugin and it shows correct.

    If i have more then 10 posts it shows >10.
    If less then 10 posts it shows <10.

    Maybe i can come around this in some one?
    Does someone has an idea?
    Like if >10 hide widget.

    <?php
$count = count_user_posts( $current_user->ID );
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

if ( $count >= 10) {

    echo ">10";

} else {

    echo "<10";

}
?>
