Problem:
I am using multiple instances field OR repeating field to upload photos. I would like to count these photos and show on the page that there are X photos for this post or listing.

Solution:
You can do this by using custom shortcode. Please add this code in your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file:

add_shortcode( 'count-repeats', 'count_repeat_func' );
function count_repeat_func($atts) {
    return sizeof(get_post_meta( $atts['post-id'], 'wpcf-' . $atts['field'], false ));
}

Then you can use this Shortcode. You should wrap this Shortcode in an HTML Conditional to check if the Field does exist, as other wise unexpected results can be produced:

 [count-repeats post-id="[wpv-post-id]" field="url"]
