    Hi Ross

    I would like to display the number of posts that are returned from a search. I have used the below code but it doesn’t work (it outputs “6” every time).

    Could you help?

    <?php
$search_count = 0;
$search = new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1");
if($search->have_posts()) : while($search->have_posts()) : $search->the_post();
$search_count++;
endwhile; endif; ?>

Your search returned <?php echo $search_count; ?> results.

    Thank you

    Hi Vikki

    Why do you have $search = new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1");?

    This is not part of S&F

    Thanks

    Hi Ross

    I googled how to do it and that was the code I found.

    🙁

    Hi Vikki

    Ok so S&F creates its own queries – what you are doing above is creating your own custom query – which S&F has not control over.

    Can you tell me which display method you are using for your results? (in the “display results” tab)?

    Hi Ross

    I am using “custom template” and “load results using ajax”.

    Hi Vikki

    So first, you need to know where you can place the code for S&F – check the docs on customising your results:

    http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/search-results/using-a-shortcode/

    Once you have done that and are comfortable updating things in the results template let me know and I can provide you with the line of code to add to the template file you create.

    Thanks

    Hi Vikki

    I got slightly confused, but if you are using the results.php template provided (but copied in your theme folder) you will notice the line:

    Found <?php echo $query->found_posts; ?> Results<br />

    So this is already being displayed in your results – the variable you need is $query->found_posts

    Thanks
