getting total post count of custom post type in custom taxonomy?

  • Hi,

    I need to display something like this on my custom taxonomy archive page:
    Number of items: x, where x is the post count on the current page.

    I have 3 “categories” in my custom taxonomy and each of them have an individual “archive page”

    What code should I put in my taxonomy-taxonomyname.php file?

    Thanks in advance

    More info:

    I’m displaying ALL posts on one page so x = total number of posts in that certain category.

    You can try this generic function that I re-use in my projects. I hope this helps.

    <?php
function get_custom_taxonomy_count($post_type, $tax_term, $taxonomy_name) 

{

	$taxonomy = 'my_taxonomy'; // this is the name of the taxonomy

    $args = array(

        'post_type' => $post_type, 'posts_per_page' => '1',

		'meta_query' => array(

				array(

					'key' => 'closed',

					'value' => '0',

					'compare' => '='

				)

			),		

        'tax_query' => array(

                    array(

                        'taxonomy' => $taxonomy_name,

                        'field' => 'slug',

                        'terms' => $tax_term)

                )

        );

     $my_query = new WP_Query( $args );

	 return $my_query->found_posts;

}

?>
