Tell us what you are trying to do?

I'm trying to create a website that can keep track of steps (like a pedometer) for a large group of people. Each person an individual step count that they can update the total of at any time.

So far I've setup a custom post type for 'Steps' and added a custom field 'steps' to this post type.

I've setup a cred form for a user to update their step count. I've setup a view for the individual steps, and setup a view for the total steps.

I've got everything setup and working as expected, but now I want to calculate the total steps across all users.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

I found suggestion for a really similar topic here, but I'm stuck at how to implement. I've added the code to functions.php and tried to add the second block of code here into the Total Steps view but I don't think this is correct.
