Post Word Count Plugin SQL Syntax error?

  • I uploaded and activate the post-count.php plugin.

    I added this code:
    <?php get_post_count(); ?>
    to a page.

    I get this error on the page at the location where I entered the code above.

    Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_date < ‘2005-01-31 01:34]
    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_date < ‘2005-01-31 01:34:23’

    Is this because I am trying to put the plugin on a separate page from all the posts?

  • It’s because changes to the plugin are causing problems for it in 1.2.x. For a 1.2 version, copy this over the get_post_count function in the plugin’s file:

    function get_post_count() {
    global $wpdb, $tableposts;
    $request = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $tableposts WHERE post_status = 'publish'";
    echo $wpdb->get_var($request);
    }
