[Resolved] Child Count with post relationshi-p

I'm trying to implement a similar solution to the one described here to count child posts.

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/counting-children/

+ I have a View that lists all parents (Artist)
+ I have another View that returns a single count of Artists in a relationship with artists_product. It accepts a post_id (artist).

It works when I call it manually with a post_id; however, when I use it in the Artist Loop Item, the browser spins then goes blank. Is my "Count" view hitting the database each time? There's about 750 Artists. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

Hi Craig,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Is it that you want to call the view with a dynamic ID as a parameter instead of having to manually enter the ID ?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Yes. Call the top level parent listing View, and inside its loop, passing a shortcode representing the current post ID in the loop in order to get the child count of that particular parent.

If I call the View that returns [wpv-items-count] 750 times, probably not a good use of resources

Thanks,
Craig

Hi Craig,

You can probably pass this into the view [wpv-post-id] Instead of manually setting the post ID
