How to display total Post Count and Word Count of blog?

I’ve found this “Post Count” and “Word Count” plugins, but they only support old versions (1.2 and 1.5) of WP.

If anyone knows how to modify these little code snippets to work with WP v2.x, please advise!

POST COUNT for WP v1.5

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Post Count
Plugin URI: https://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/

*/

function mdv_post_count() {
global $wpdb;
echo $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_date_gmt < ‘” . gmdate(“Y-m-d H:i:s”,time()) . “‘”);
}
?>

<?php

*/

function mdv_post_word_count() {
global $wpdb;
$now = gmdate(“Y-m-d H:i:s”,time());
$words = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT post_content FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_date < ‘$now'”);
if ($words) {
foreach ($words as $word) {
$post = strip_tags($word->post_content);
$post = explode(‘ ‘, $post);
$count = count($post);
$totalcount = $count + $oldcount;
$oldcount = $totalcount;
}
} else {
$totalcount=0;
}
echo number_format($totalcount);
}
?>
