I am building a site where each custom post type contains a price.
Each user can publish several posts and on each post the user enters a price.

I need to show each user the total price of all his posts.
How can I do the math to calculate price1+price2+...+priceX ?

Thanks in advance
Eric

Hi Eric,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To achieve this you'll need two components:

1. A post view that shows all posts by a currently logged-in user, that outputs only the comma-separated list of all price custom field values.

2. A custom shortcode that gets those values and shows the sum.

You'll find more detailed steps and example code snippet in this reply:

( in point 2 )

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
