Thank you,

This is starting to work. You can see that it worked for "post count" below:

One question - how do I count things besides the number of posts? For example, I have a special custom post field called "program locations" - how would I get a count of the number of program locations, that have been entered system wide?

Thank you!

Hello,

How do you setup the custom post field "program locations"?
Same as previous thread, you can create another post view:
- Query posts of your custom post type "k-12-program"
- with a field filter on "program locations", see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-by-custom-fields/

- In section "Loop Editor", insider shortcode [wpv-items-found] ... [/wpv-items-found], display shortcode [wpv-found-count]
