get current post count

You could use the following script to number posts then if you needed to display ‘post number X’ of ‘X’ you could use another funtion to get the total count.

Hope this helps

Thanks. That seems to add a number when you publish or create a post, but not the sequence number of the post in that particular category

as ‘wp_count_posts()’ is not category specific, this might get a bit more complicated.

try (assuming an ordinary loop, no custom query or so):

global $query_string;
$all_post_query = new WP_Query($query_string.'&posts_per_page=-1');
$all_posts = $all_post_query->post_count;
$this_post_nr = 1 + $wp_query->current_post + (get_query_var('paged')?(get_query_var('paged')-1) : 0) * get_option('posts_per_page');
$count_posts = $all_post_query->post_count;
echo $this_post_nr.' of '.$count_posts.' drawings.';

hmmm that stille didn’t work. Here is my code – it’s a single-post template
