I want to give a post type a certain number value with 2 decimal points.
+——————–+
| 22.00 |
+——————–+
So I created a field, gave it a name of c_percentage and added it to my custom post type. Now what I would like to do is get the sum of all this numbers from each post.
How do I do this? I’ve tried adding getting it through the loop but can’t seem to get it right.
I tried this suggestion here, but seem to have garbled the code.

Hi @mvmonroe
Lets first talk about the logic needed.
1. Create a variable to hold the $total. This var starts as 0
2. Loop through all the posts. This code can be found on the docs page under ‘querying posts’ or on google / WP with the get_posts function
3. for each post, find the custom field value via get_field function (read more on the ACF docs page) and add it to the $total var
4. After the loop has ended, your $total var will now contain the correct number

Thanks, I really shouldn’t try to code after getting back grom the pub. I’ll try this and reply back to the community with my code.
Hi,
I’m doing this. I followed the steps from Elliot and works.
This is my code:
<?php
$total_beficio = 0; //my main variable
$posts = get_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => -1, //get all post
'post_type' => 'apuestas' //my custom post type
));
if( $posts ) {
foreach( $posts as $post ){
setup_postdata( $post );
if (get_field('beneficio')) {
echo get_field('beneficio'); //show individual field(not needed)
$total_beficio = get_field('beneficio') + $total_beficio; //sum all fields
}
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}?>
<?php echo '<h1>'.$total_beficio.'</h1>'//showing the total value;?>
Well, I need a special function.
I have a numbers fields what are summing.
And I have a date field too. (Single date for every post, not start/end date)
I need divide the field in months and years.
Example:
2017
January
30
February
23
….
2016
January
23
February
73
How I can achieve this?
EDIT: I don’t need the wp published date. I need use my acf date field.
Regards
