Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a page template for a post type showing 2 different post types in a table view list.
Now I want to add a summary on top of that page showing the total amount of posts for each child post (Inkommande and utgående).
I've created a view for the correct post type, but since it's a loop, it shows the total number in a repeatable list. So 9 posts will show the number "9", nine times.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

But since I'm using the block-editor I'm not able to use this example above.

Please let me know if you need new access to the site.
Thanks, Pierre

You need to move the block where you insert the wpv-found-count shortcode so that it is in the View Output block, but before the View Loop block. See the screenshot.

Alternatively, rather than create Views for this, you could just use the custom shortcode described here: hidden link
