Show Submission Count on Frontend

Hi @gelebrin

Thank you for the positive feedback, very much appreciated!

We don’t have a shortcode for that, but you are welcome to make a feature request for this idea here:

https://wsform.com/my-account/feature-requests/

Many thanks

Mark

Hi @westguard, Cant it be done easily via some php function? Like for example wpforms has?

I can do feature request but I need it for now cant wait ((( any suggestions?

You could create your own shortcode that counts the number of records in the submit table for a particular form ID.

You can find our database table names here:

It is also possible to get the submit count from the count_submit field in the form table.

@westguard Sadly, I am not familiar of doing something like this :((

For help with custom coding:

@westguard 80USD for something like this is too expensive, I thought you could help me to easily solve this little problem

We do not provide custom PHP development as part of our support.

However, this should help:

@westguard You are absolutely AWESOME!

Thank you so much <3

@westguard I Just tested, and when I am logged out it’s showing “0” count and when I am logged in it shows correct submission count, why is that?

Try the revised code here:

https://wsform.com/knowledgebase/show-form-submission-count-for-a-specific-form/

I’ll post some tidier code when the next version of WS Form is released, but that should work for now.

It’s Working, Thank you again and again for such awesome help.

Never ever had such great experience with support. Thank you!

You’re welcome.

Please note that this statistic will not update in real-time. Our stats engine is only designed to refresh when you view the form list in the admin. We do this for performance reasons, we don’t want to count all submissions every time your figure is shown. The code I provided is a workaround to help you for now.

You could get a real figure by counting the records in the submit table but that would require additional PHP coding. We don’t provide PHP coding as part of our support.

We’ll definitely consider increasing the frequency at which this number is updated in future but that may only be a PRO feature. Our LITE edition doesn’t include the full stats engine.

I’ve added one more example here:

https://wsform.com/knowledgebase/show-form-submission-count-for-a-specific-form/

This will return a real-time figure. It excludes any forms submitted when you are logged in as an administrator, i.e. it only includes real site visitor submissions. I tested this in LITE and it is working.

Understood. for now it’s suitable for me, And I am buying Pro version without any hesitation.

@westguard I Just tested new code and I loved it. It works like a charm that was exactly what I wanted. Thank a ton!
