Show Post Count in Other Places

Hi,

I am not sure which post count you are referring to…..

And why do you wan’t to show it in the header ?

Post count at the bottom of “My Post” widget:

actually I want to display the post count on the users page. Whether it’s the header or even within their profile.

You can enter the below code, but be aware that it will execute a sql every time the page is loaded:

if	( is_user_logged_in() )
		{
		global $current_user, $wpdb;
		$author_id		= (int) $current_user->ID;
		$author_name	= $current_user->display_name;
		$tmp_count	= $wpdb->get_var("SELECT count(ID) AS tmp_post_cnt FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author = ".$author_id." AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post'" );
		if (intval ($tmp_count) > 0)
			echo "<br>You have publised ".$tmp_count." posts<br>";
		else
			echo "<br>You haven't publised any posts yet<br>";

		}
