I have to display specific tag count beside a album post

  • Hello,

    Theme: Generatepress: I have one requirement. I have one music website. In homepage I am using query loop block where I display album post which contains individual songs posts as links in this album post. For this album post I have created separate new category (“Ex: NewAlbum”). This NewAlbum category contains only album posts. If I assign ABC as NewAlbum Category it will be displayed in Homepage Query loop block. ABC album post contains individual posts belongs to tag “ABC”. Now I want to show ABC posts tag count beside NewAlbum category posts . So that any new album gets updated with new songs count will be increased so that uses can read that. Any solution to this?

  • Hi there,

    This would require custom code which would be out of our scope of support.

    You’ll need to find a logic to count your songs, and maybe you can add a placeholder block inside your Query Loop and rerender it using WP’s render_block filter so that it would show your count.

    Hi there,

    it needs a shortcode function to do this. And the most we can provide is a basic PHP Snippet to register the shortcode:

    function category_info_shortcode($atts) {

    $atts = shortcode_atts(array(
        'category' => ''
    ), $atts);

    $output = '';
    
    $category = get_term_by('slug', $atts['category'], 'category');

    if ($category) {
        $category_name = $category->name;
        $post_count = $category->count;
        $output = $category_name . '(' . $post_count . ')';
    } 
    return $output;
}

add_shortcode('category_info','category_info_shortcode');

    Then you can add the [category_info category="your-category-slug"] to your page inside a GB Headline Block to display the set category and its post count.
