How to Count Custom Post Types in Nav Tabs?

    I added a Post Tab to my Buddypress Navigation Tab Menu which displays the latest Posts and Custom Posts for each user.

    Now I want to add the total number of all Posts (standard wordpress posts and CPT posts) but only standard posts get counted. What am I doing wrong?

    function bpck_post_profile_setup_nav() {
	global $bp;
	$parent_slug = 'post';
	$child_slug = 'post_sub';

    $post_count = count_user_posts(  bp_displayed_user_id(), array('video','discography','post' ) );

	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
	'name' => 'My Posts <span>'.$post_count.'</span>',
	'slug' => $parent_slug,
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/',
	'screen_function' => 'profile_page_show_screen',
	'position' => 40,
	'default_subnav_slug' => $child_slug
	) );
	}

	function profile_page_show_screen() {
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'profile_post_page_screen_content' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
	}

	function profile_post_page_screen_content() {
		do_action( my_profile_post);
	}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpck_post_profile_setup_nav' );

    What’s even more confusing if I add 

    function my_custom_userpostcount() {
echo '<span>' . count_user_posts( bp_displayed_user_id(), array('video','discography','post' ) ) . ' Posts</span>';

}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'my_custom_userpostcount');

    to the user header, the total count number is correct, it counts all post types in the array.

    Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

    The only difference is the hooks you’re using:

    • bp_setup_nav
    • bp_before_member_header_meta

    I expect the problem might be related to when bp_setup_nav is executed?

    @henrywright but apparently I need to use bp_setup_nav to add a navigation tab. I don’t understand why bp_setup_nav doesn’t let me to count custom post types.

    Yes, that’s right, you do.

    This is one of those situations where you seem to be doing everything right but a bit of digging is needed to see what’s actually wrong.

    What if you add a priority ? ie. add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpck_post_profile_setup_nav', 15 );

    @danbp unfortunately this doesn’t make any difference. I tried different priorities but custom post type posts still don’t get counted.

    Ok. Can you check bp_activities table in DB. When you publish a dicography, does it appear as type (give exact name) or only as “new_blog_post” ?

    I don’t know why it would work in bp_before_member_header_meta.

    I usually use a direct call for such counts.
    Try something like:

    function 3tmj_count_profile( $user_id = 0 ) {
	global $wpdb;

	if ( empty( $user_id ) )
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

	return $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author = $user_id AND post_type IN { 'video','discography','post' }  AND post_status = 'publish'" );

}

    Then implement – note the parent url:

    function bpck_post_profile_setup_nav() {

	$parent_slug = 'post';
	$child_slug = 'post_sub';

	$count  = 3tmj_count_profile();
	
	$class  = ( 0 === $count ) ? 'no-count' : 'count';
	
	$name = sprintf( __( 'My Posts <span class="%s">%s</span>', 'your-lang-domain' ), esc_attr( $class ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );

	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
		'name' => $name,
		'slug' => $parent_slug,
		'parent_url' => bp_displayed_user_domain() . $parent_slug . '/',
		'screen_function' => 'profile_page_show_screen',
		'position' => 40,
		'default_subnav_slug' => $child_slug
	) );
}

    I tested your code and CPT & Posts counts are both correct (on tab and profile).

    How did you implement CPT ? Try to test with the snippet given here:

    @danbp: I just want to display the total number of the given post types combined. I haven’t implemented it to the activities yet but to my understanding it should be displayed indepently from the activity setup, shouldn’t it? It works for the header correctly.


    @shanebp    : I haven’t tested your version yet. What do you mean with your-lang-domain? My website is only written in english, is it necessary then?

    I’m also trying to do the same thing! Did you ever find the solution to make it work?

    My code is the following and i got an error500 with your code. Did i forgot something to do i’m confused. No feedback from anyone if this solution worked or not?

    function 3tmj_count_profile( $user_id = 0 ) {
	global $wpdb;

	if ( empty( $user_id ) )
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

	return $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author = $user_id AND post_type IN { 'wpcm_vehicle' }  AND post_status = 'publish'" );

}

function profile_tab_advertenties() {
    	global $bp;

	$count = 3tmj_count_profile();
	
	$class = ( 0 === $count ) ? 'no-count' : 'count';
	
	$name = sprintf( __( 'My Posts <span class="%s">%s</span>', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ), esc_attr( $class ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );

	//$name = sprintf( __( 'Advertenties <span class="%s">%s</span>', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ), esc_attr( $class ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );
	//$name = 'Advertenties <span>' . count_user_posts( bp_displayed_user_id(), array( 'wpcm_vehicle', 'post' ) ) . '</span>';

   	bp_core_new_nav_item( array( 
		'name' => $name,
		'slug' => __( 'advertenties', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ), 
        	'screen_function' => 'advertenties_screen', 
        	'position' => 30,
	    	'parent_url'      => bp_displayed_user_domain()  . __( '/advertenties/', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ) ,
	    	'parent_slug'     => $bp->profile->slug,
		'default_subnav_slug' => __( 'advertenties', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ), 
    ) );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'profile_tab_advertenties', 10);
