Can’t echo wp_count_posts(‘page’)?

February 12, 20233 Views

I’m trying to echo the value of the variable in the code below. I’m getting an error (see below)…

Here’s the code…

$mypagecount = wp_count_posts('page');
echo $mypagecount;

Here’s the error:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

The wp_count_posts function returns an object.
You can ask the object to return the number of publish items.
```
<?php
     $count_pages = wp_count_posts('page');
     $pages = $count_pages->publish;
     echo $pages;
?>
```
