What I have:
– A Custom Post Type called ‘Recipes’
– A Hierarchical Custom Taxonomy ‘Desserts > Chocolate, Cakes, etc.’
– A ACF selector field with the difficulty level ‘Easy, Average, Difficult’
– I’m showing a table in the archives-recipes.php, which looks like this:
————————————————————-
Easy Average Difficult
————————————————————-
Desserts
————————————————————-
Cakes 2 1
————————————————————-
Post 1 Go
————————————————————-
Post 2 Go
————————————————————-
Post 3 Go
I need to know how to show the number of custom posts with the same value inside a custom sub-category.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help 🙂

You can use get_terms, then term->count..
The below will list all the terms from the Desserts taxonomy with their name and post count.
<?php
$terms = get_terms( 'desserts' );
if ( ! empty( $terms ) && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ){
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo '<li>' . $term->name . ' - ' . $term->count . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>

Sorry just re-read your question. You need to get the number of posts with a difficulty of Easy, Average & Difficult for each term right?
You’ll need a custom wp_query with a tax_query and a meta_query.. Something like the below will get you the post count for Easy Chocolate Deserts..
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'recipes',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'desserts',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'chocolate',
),
),
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'difficulty',
'value' => 'Easy',
'compare' => 'IN',
),
),
);
$easy_choc_query = new WP_Query( $args );
echo $easy_choc_query->found_posts;
More info from the Codex
To make it more dynamic we’d need to see your html structure. You’d possibly need to put something like the above inside the get_terms foreach loop, swapping out ‘chocolate’ and ‘easy’ for variables that changed with each iteration.
