PHP Function manual insert not working? ?

    My php skill is still pretty basic. I may be missing something obvious.

    I’m trying to insert the statement but it isn’t working for me:
    if ( function_exists ( ‘echo_tptn_post_count’ ) ) echo_tptn_post_count();? ?

    I tested and function_exists() is true.

    But when I use the statement, nothing appears. If I try to use the statement with already working php in a hook, all the php in that hook is not displayed.

    This works in the hook:
    <?php
    the_category(‘ ‘);
    the_author_posts_link();
    the_tags( ‘Tags ‘, ‘ ‘, ” );
    ?>

    This doesn’t work, there is no output from any of the code in this hook:
    <?php
    the_category(‘ ‘);
    the_author_posts_link();
    the_tags( ‘Tags ‘, ‘ ‘, ” );
    if ( function_exists ( ‘echo_tptn_post_count’ ) ) echo_tptn_post_count();?
    ?>

    My php skill is still pretty basic. I may be missing something obvious.

    I’m using the Genesis framework. And Genesis Simple Hooks plugin.

    If I use the setting to just automatically add the counters to posts, the counter does show up that way.

    Thank you.

    Can you tell me what happens if you toggle the option:
    “Always display latest post count”

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    But playing with that option doesn’t seem to affect this problem.

    Can you please try this. It taps an internal function.

    <?php
echo get_tptn_post_count( get_the_ID(), get_current_blog_id() );

?>

    Ok, that worked! Much appreciated.

    And now, the original code also works. I wonder why?

    Which code should I use? Do I have to worry about something not working again in the future?

    You should continue using the “echo_tptn_post_count” code if that is working.

    It’s strange that it didn’t work once and is suddenly working. But, at least it works now ??
