Solved must have been some persistent cache. Thanks!

I’ve made all changes suggested on your last post, the counters show up so i assume all went OK, it’s a twenty fourteen child so it should be coded by the book.
Thanks for the help!

PS: On the post linked by aut0poietic they are doing wp_cache_flush() before every switch_to_blog. I don’t know what that does but if it’s clearing the W3 total cache…then it would have a negative effect on busy server, the load would be huge it might even crash. So i’m not doing it.

@bcworkz, thanks for the input. I followed your post carefully and came up with new code, is this doing what i wanted? I mean only updating only every 24hs? What do you think of it?

function prefix_nav_description( $item_output, $item, $depth, $args ) {
$posts_counters = array(
    "Volvo" => 0,
    "Mazda" => 0,
	"BMW" => 0,
	"Mercedes" => 0,
	"Porsche" => 0,
	"Mitsubishi" => 0,
	"Hyundai" => 0,
	"Fiat" => 0,
	"Ferrari" => 0,
	"Citroen" => 0,
	"Renault" => 0,
);

if ( false === ( $posts_counters = get_transient( 'posts_counters' ) ) ) {

$original_blog_id = get_current_blog_id();
switch_to_blog(2);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Volvo"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(3);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Mazda"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(15);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["BMW"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(18);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Mercedes"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(20);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Porsche"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(22);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Mitsubishi"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(21);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Hyundai"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(6);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Fiat"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(16);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Ferrari"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(17);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Citroen"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog(19);
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$posts_counters["Renault"] = $count_posts->publish;
switch_to_blog( $original_blog_id );	 

     set_transient( 'posts_counters', $posts_counters, 24 * HOUR_IN_SECONDS );
}

       $item_output = str_replace( "Volvo", "Volvo (".$posts_counters["Volvo"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Mazda", "Mazda (".$posts_counters["Mazda"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "BMW", "BMW (".$posts_counters["BMW"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Mercedes", "Mercedes (".$posts_counters["Mercedes"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Porsche", "Porsche (".$posts_counters["Porsche"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Mitsubishi", "Mitsubishi (".$posts_counters["Mitsubishi"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Hyundai", "Hyundai (".$posts_counters["Hyundai"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Fiat", "Fiat (".$posts_counters["Fiat"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Ferrari", "Ferrari (".$posts_counters["Ferrari"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Citroen", "Citroen (".$posts_counters["Citroen"].")", $item_output );
	   $item_output = str_replace( "Renault", "Renault (".$posts_counters["Renault"].")", $item_output );

    return $item_output;
}
add_filter( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'prefix_nav_description', 10, 4 );

Thanks.

Yes, but i don’t know who they are. The author comes up blank.

Well, subscribers can’t do anything. I need users to be able to post under moderation. It was all good except for this new blank author posts.

Hi thanks for helping me solve this.

When a user a register they have by default “contributor” status so they can submit posts but not publish them.

When we find a spammer we degrade him to “subscriber” so he can’t send anything else. This system works well for us.

With the use of recaptcha for registration we don’t have spam at all.

Today i found this posts that have no author, so i don’t know who is creating them therefore i cannot degrade his account.

Is there any way to tell who created these?

I’m sure after they become simple subscribers they won’t be able to post anymore and bots are unlikely to bypass recaptcha v2. But first i must identify the offender account.
