Count Posts is a simple plugin that provides a template function to count posts, as well as filtering by category and over time in days. The function can either return or display the result. Based off Clint Howarth’s count_posts Changes 1.0 Initial release. Count Posts Function The Count Posts function can be called anywhere in a WordPress template and has three variables: count_posts($category, $daysago, $display) $category The $category variable is used to count the number of posts in a category (or Term in WordPress 2.5 or greater). Simply put the name of your category in the function call e.g. count_posts('mycategory') If it is left blank, which is the default, the function will count post in all categories. $daysago The $daysago variable is used to count the number of posts from a specified number of days ago e.g. count_posts('mycategory', '8') If it is left blank or set to 0, the default, the function will count all posts. $display The $display variable is used to either output the count number or to return it. count_posts('mycategory', '8', true) If it is left blank or set to true, the default, the function will output the number of posts to the page. If it is set to false, the function will return the number. Known Issues No known issues at this time.
