    Hi everybody, I need to display the current id of a post and the total number of posts of a custom post type in a single view, like

    3 / 18

    Now i managed to get the total number (18 in this case) like this: wp_count_posts(‘portfolio’);

    But how do i get the Number of the current post?
    get_the_ID() returns the id considering all post types, so this is spitting out something like 80 :-/

    Thanks!

  • Are you doing this within a loop?

    Inside the loop you already have a $post object available.

    <?php echo $post->post_type; ?>

    Or if you want to use get_post_type you can pass it the post object you have (so it extracts the one property from it).

    <?php echo get_post_type( $post ); ?>

    Got a solution for this on the german forums:

    <?php
if ( 'portfolio' == get_post_type() ) {
	$this_post_id = get_the_id();

	$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'portfolio',
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => -1,
		'fields' => 'ids',
		'order' => 'ASC',
	);
	$the_query = get_posts( $args );

	$key = array_search( $this_post_id , $the_query );
	$key++;

	$published_posts = wp_count_posts( 'portfolio' )->publish;

	echo ' ' . $key . ' / '. $published_posts;
}	//end if post type ?>
