 * 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-posts/)

 * 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](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 * That plugin is over 5 years out of date.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";
   
       }
       ?>
       ```
