How to display the number of posts of each post type on the category page?

To display total post published you can put this in your template (archive.php / title_header.php):

<?php echo term_count() . 'post published' ?>

But.. I’m not quite understand with ‘Quote’ and ‘Status’ that you mean.
I think you need tell us your website link.

MonkimoE, I think the OP is referring to the post format type that themes often implement. Twentysixteen for example, has these formats and many more available. term_count() sounds like a useful function, but I don’t think it’s part of WP core. Could it be something from a theme or plugin you use? If you had wp_count_terms() in mind, this counts the number of different terms, not how many times any one term is used.

ewlarme, the post format of each post is managed by the post_format taxonomy. The format is just another taxonomy term like categories and tags. You could do a count query for each format you’re interested in. It’s a little easier to code if you use get_posts() with a tax_query argument for both the current category and the post_format you’re interested in. Then use count() on the returned array.

Hi,

Sorry.. I was wrong. My 1st answer is to display total post in custom taxonomy.

To display total post in regular category:

       <?php
        $args = array(
  		'post_type'    => 'post', //or change to your custom post_type
  		'post_status'  => 'publish',
	);
	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
	echo $the_query->found_posts . 'post published' ;
        ?>

put in your template (archive.php / title_header.php)
