Show number of current events

[Christoph]

How can I show the total number of current events on my website?

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for reaching out to us! Hoperfully there’s a simple way of achieving what you ask for 🙂

You can use the wp_count_posts WordPress function. I’ll show you how to do so:


$published_events = wp_count_posts('tribe_events')->publish;
// use var_dump ( wp_count_posts('tribe_events') ); to see all info returned by wp_count_posts


Please let me know if this is what you are looking for and if you have any follow-up questions about this,
Best,
Nico

Thank you, but this show the total number of all events include the expired events.
I want to show the total number of only events in the future.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Hey Christoph,

Thanks for clarifying that out!

This snippet Brian -another support team member- crafted should do the trick:

Thank you. This show me the right way, but it need a small change:

The line “echo $event_count->post_count;”
must changed to “echo $event_count->found_posts;”

then the script do what I want.

Hey Christoph,

I’m glad to hear you could work it out from there 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Best,
Nico
