This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
How to use the found count of a View in a conditional statement?
A View outputs just the found count—using the wpv-found-count shortcode—but it doesn't work when used in a conditional shortcode that tests the resulting number.
Solution:
The problem is that the View doesn't just output the number, it includes a wrapper div and some white space.
The wrapper div can be disabled with its setting, and the whole of the Loop Output can be compressed to eliminate whitespace, like so:
[wpv-layout-start][wpv-items-found][wpv-found-count]<!-- wpv-loop-start --><wpv-loop></wpv-loop><!-- wpv-loop-end -->[/wpv-items-found][wpv-no-items-found][/wpv-no-items-found][wpv-layout-end]
That will then output just the number with no extra whitespace or markup and so can be used in a conditional shortcode.
