Hello,
I want to add the numbers of post a user made but it is not in the field form, how can I go about this?
Hello,
Where do you want to display the post counts?
If you want to display current logged-in user's post count, you can create a post view:
- Query posts of your custom post types
- Filter by post author is same as logged-in user
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/allow-users-to-manage-their-items/#create-a-view-that-lists-the-item-of-the-currently-logged-in-user
- In the outputs section, display the found post count shortcode: [wpv-found-count]
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#vf-155378
Displays the total number of posts, users or taxonomies that have been found by the Views query.
Hello
I want to display the numbers of entries they made while submitting form. Like if the user have submitted form for 5 times, it will be counted as 5 time.
Yes, in the post form content, you can display the post view I mentioned above using view's shorcode: [wpv-view]
Here are detail steps, see below test site:

[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]You did not create any post yet![/wpml-string]</strong>
[/wpv-no-items-found]
3) In the post form content:

Hello,
I have been able to do as told but i still could not get the numbers of post filled by users when i pasted the code on my template. When i pasted the code it did not diplay any number [wpv-view name="Want to add post count by users"]
I also noticed that the loop editor area is locked so i could not paste the code instructed there
Please share your website credentials in below private message box, also point out:

Thanks for the details, I have done below modifications in your website:
1) Edit post view "want to add post count by users":
hidden link
in section "Loop Editor ", click link "Skip wizard", so you can setup the codes manually:
...
[wpv-items-found]
<strong>You have created [wpv-found-count] posts!</strong>
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>
</wpv-loop>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]You did not create any post yet![/wpml-string]</strong>
[/wpv-no-items-found]
...
2) Edit the post form "Add Artist Form":
hidden link
In section "Form Editor", line 3, click button "Fields and Views", add above post view's shortcode:
[wpv-view name="want-to-add-post-count-by-users"]
3) Test it in frontend:
