$wp_query->found_posts returns incorrect number of posts

  • hello there,

    I have a blog with 244 post in it within the only category (id=1)

    i am trying to set up a pagination plugin (wp-page-numbers) and met following issue
    with 24 posts per page I got only 9 pages in my navi 1 2 … 9
    but I should have 244/24 = 10.1 – at least 11 pages

    after some investigations I found out that ->found_posts returs only 216 – thus 28 posts were invisible for found_posts property..

    after that a went through my posts and got following distribution:
    March = 120 posts
    Feb = 96 posts
    Jan = 28 posts

    so it looks like by default found_posts “sees” only posts from Mar and Feb, but cannot see early posts..

    anybody could help me with idea where should I dig in?

  • See what happens with this:

    <?php
$cat_id = get_cat_ID('events');
$args=array(
  'cat' => $cat_id,
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'showposts' => -1
);
$catposts=get_posts($args);
echo 'posts found '. count($catposts);
?>

    Might also deactivate all plugins and change to WordPress Default theme.
