Return value

In use, it is roughly in the above two forms.

The function is mainly used on the return value.

Both of the above forms return an object

As follows: the value may be different, but the structure is the same.

Object (stdClass) # 296 (8) {/ / released ["publish"] = > string (1) "7" / / scheduled release ["future"] = > int (0) / / draft ["draft"] = > int (0) / / what is being edited? (to be verified) ["pending"] = > int (0) / / Privacy ["private"] = > int (0) / / dustbin ["trash"] = > int (0) / / automatic draft ["auto-draft"] = > int (0) / / I don't know about this, and I haven't studied ["inherit"] = > int (0)}.

Default usage

The default usage returns the count of published articles. This is an object, and you can debug the output with var_dump () in the content.

Get the count of published status articles

To get the status type of a published article, you should first call the wp_count_posts () function and then check the publish property.

If you use PHP5 and only want to get the status of an article, you can use the following more convenient method. This code cannot be run in PHP4, so if you want to maintain background compatibility, you should choose the above code.

Draft count

The method of calculating the number of drafts is consistent with the method of obtaining publication status counting.

Page count

The same way to calculate the number of page types as for articles, you need to take advantage of the first parameter. Finding the number of pages in a state is the same as finding logs in that state.

Other uses

Wp_count_posts () can find the number of any log types in the log state, including attachments and any log types that will be added, and this can also be achieved through plug-ins or some core teams in WordPress.

Parameters.
