    With this php snippet I can see how many posts that have the tag “cat”

    $term = get_term_by('slug', cat, post_tag);
$nocats = $term->count;

    But how do I do if I want to count how many of those cats that are in the category allowpost?

  • Please try the following code:

    $args = array(
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'tax_query' => array(
    'relation' => 'AND', // only posts that have both taxonomies will return.
    array(
      'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
      'field'    => 'slug',
      'terms'    => 'your-tag-slug', //cat
    ),
    array(
      'taxonomy' => 'category',
      'field'    => 'slug',
      'terms'    => 'your-category-slug', //allowpost
    ),
  ),
);
$posts = get_posts($args);
$count = count($posts);

    Basically in the code, we are checking if the posts are in both the taxonomies then send them in the output and then counting the total of them.

    I hope this will help you.
