Count posts based on filters

Hi,

is there a way to show counter of posts based on what is selected in filter? So if no selection it will show a number of all posts (ex. 45 results found), if I select something it will show a number of filtered posts (ex. 23 results found).

Regards

Whilst I have asked Ross to take a look at this post, I just wish to make sure I have understood your question.

This is something different to have the numbers next to each category and the pagination, yes? Something like a heading that says:

23 results found based on your selections (if any)

at the top of the results, maybe?

Hi Klox

This is of course possible.

Which display method are you using?

With any query you can do:

echo $query->found_posts

Provided the name of the query is $query

thanks

Hi, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. At the end I did this $wp_query->post_count

Great 🙂 Can I close this thread and mark it as resolved?

Acctually $wp_query->post_count takes into account “results per page” so I have to change this because if there are many pages with results and limit is set to 12 it will say “12 results found”.

I think what you want is

$wp_query->found_posts

It is part of any WordPress query, and tells you total found, not including pagination.

Thanks
