Hi all!
I’m currently using this little snippet to show how many posts there are with a specified tag
$term = get_term_by('slug', lizard, post_tag);
// Fetch the count
echo $term->count;
My mission is to count several different tags and add them together.
But I don’t really understand the echo $term->count; function.
Is there anyway to instead of echoing the answer, to store it in a variable?, For example $lizzard?
$term is a wordpress WP_Term object; count is one of its properties.
echo is just a php statement meaning “print what I give you to the output”. The function print() has more or less the same effect.
If you want to assign a value (such as an object property) to a variable, you can use $variable_name = expression; so in this example, $lizzard = $term->count;.
This information was exactly what I needed, thx for the information!
