I’ve got a custom post type for products. This has a number of custom fields.
My question is how to I output to screen the number of products that are on the page or resulting from a search? Thanks

Hi @hs1972,

You can use WP_Query to get the total post. It should be something like this:

<?php
$args = array(
   'posts_per_page' => 5,
   'post_type' => 'product_custom_post_slug',
);
$myquery = new WP_Query($args);

echo "<h2>Found: $myquery->found_posts</h2>";

?>

To learn more about WP_Query, please take a look at this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query. If you have a further question about this, please ask WordPress forum.

Hope this helps.
