Using mycred_count_ref_instances to calculate total comment count for user

    I want to count how many comments a user has posted and been awarded for. Note that this is different to the total comment count of a user because I have set a limit where user will only be awarded for 1 comment per post.

    How can I calculate total comment count of current user (which I have on variable $userID) with the mycred_count_ref_instances function?

    I need to echo the total count number.

    Hey.

    It’s very simple. You just need to know what reference is used when users are awarded points for comments.

    There are:

    “approved_comment” – used when a user gains points for an approved comment
    “unapproved_comment” – used when a comment is un-approved
    “spam_comment” – used when a comment is marked as spam
    “delete_comment” – used when a comment is trashed

    So if you want the count for approved comments it would be:

    $user_id = 1;
$count = mycred_count_ref_instances( 'approved_comments', $user_id );
