Search Results for 'found_posts'

[Ross]

Hey Mark

It seems that maybe there is some other custom query on your page which makes this count incorrect – for example if your theme runs its own query_posts or something similar on the page then the found_posts value may be reflecting this.

You could try resetting the main query before you check found_posts however this may break something else in your page:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_query

Something like:

<?php
wp_reset_query();
global $wp_query;
$total_results = $wp_query->found_posts;
?>

Basically it seems like your theme is overriding the default setting, or not resetting the main query once it has finished running its custom functions?

Thanks

function search_abovecontent() {
?>
<div class="results">		<?php
global $wp_query;
$total_results = $wp_query->found_posts;
?></div>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_abovecontent','search_abovecontent',0);

Hi Ross this does not seem to have worked for me. I am using Thematic as my theme and added a hook to put this above the content

<div class="results">		<?php
global $wp_query;
$total_results = $wp_query->found_posts;
?></div>

Any thoughts how I can implement it?
Thanks in advance

Hey Luca

Try this in your template:

<?php
global $wp_query;
$total_results = $wp_query->found_posts;
?>

Let me know if that works!
