Function Reference/count many users posts

Description

Returns the post counts for a list of user IDs. This is an O(n) operation, so it is preferred over count_user_posts() any time more than a single count is needed.

<?php count_many_users_posts( $users, $post_type, $public_only ); ?>

Parameters

$users

(array) (required) List of ID values of the users whose post counts should be retrieved.

Default: None

$post_type

(string) (optional) Name of the post type

Default: null

$public_only

(string) (optional) Bypasses checking capabilities of current user (False) or returns posts only if they can be viewed by current user (True).

Default: False

Return Value

(array): Amount of posts each user has written.

Example

Default Usage

echo 'Posts made by user 3: ' . $counts[3];
?>

Posts made by user 3: 143
