Counts of post types for author

    I am attempting to count the number of entries a particular user has for every post type, including custom post types, so I am aware of content before deleting a user. I am having two problems.

    [loop  author=this  orderby=type status=any]
[field post-type] : [field title-link]
[/loop]
[loop-count]

    If I use the loop construct with no “type=” and status= any, I was hoping I would see every post type. However, I only see 4 different post types, one of which is a custom post type. I have many more which are not included, but they are shown if I explicitly put them in “type=”, so it knows they are there. For example, we use bbPress so I can see “topic” and “reply” if I put them with type=, but they do not show up if I remove type=.

    The second problem is that I would just like a count for every post type I have. When I remove the [field] part from the loop, it returns a blank line for every entry and then gives me the loop count. I have also tried the [calc] method inside the loop and it also gives a blank line for every entry.

    Is there a way for me to show every post type I have and then show the count of each for a particular user?

    Thanks, Mike

    With new release and using author=this in all 3 ABC tests, the answers come back with the proper number 12. I also got my original question to work with the following code.

    [for type=all status=any]
Post type: [each slug]
Post count: [loop-count author=this]
[/for]

    I would also point out that the debug=true seems to show the debug output even when the code is placed between [note][/note]. I do not know if shortcodes are always processed between the [note], but that is what I used to comment out various code snippets.

    I am also still curious where all the post type metadata is kept, if it is not in the database somewhere.

    Oops, you’re right – I found that [note] was still processing shortcodes, that’s silly.. The debug parameter echoes the query directly, so that’s why it was still showing up. Good catch! I’ll fix it in the next update.

    I learned that post type metadata is kept solely in the global variable $wp_post_types in memory, so it’s not in the database. That’s interesting that the whole thing is created anew on every page load.

    Glad to hear all tests are passing now, and it looks like a useful new feature.

    Thanks for the great support in tracking this down.
