I am trying to: get a count of child posts. I need to count the number of child posts called Offers. The parent is Listings. I am developing a content template that lists all Listings. I want the count of offers for each listing to be displayed.

I visited this URL: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-display-count-of-child-pages/

I expected to see: an answer that is applicable.

Instead, I got: same problem

Hi Jon,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Let me see how best I can assist with this.

You should be able to achieve this by using the following shortcode.
https://toolset.com/documentation/views-shortcodes/#wpv-items-count

It allows you to display the number of items found in a post view. You should add this shortcode to the view that displays the child posts within the [wpv-items-found] shortcode.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

I used shortcode [wpv-items-found] and wrapped the loop output. Please see the image.
