Hey there,

I am building a website that asks people for submissions of their own stories. We then turn those submissions into blog posts. We'd like to display the total number of "blogs" to show how many people have shared their stories. Is it possible to display something like "350 Stories Shared" where 350 is the total number of blogs?

Thanks for any help!

Hi. Where do you want it to show up?

I have set up a sidebar on the blog where it would show up..just under the red button

Thanks for any help @tuanphan!

Any other thoughts on this @tuanphan? He would love to have it show up on the homepage now. Just as a text. ie "We have collected XX testimonies so far"

Thanks for your help!

You can add text manually...

Right. That might be enough.

But is there a way to dynamically pull in the number of blogs in a category?

I have the same question, but it hasn't been answered.

Is there a way to automate the number of blog posts we have? If not, is there a way for us to easily know how many current blog posts we have on our website without having to count them?

(Sort of like analytics but internal)

Any progress on this? It must be possible, because Archive Blocks can display a live count of items. I would love to see this answered.

If you use Filter Plugin, the plugin has an option to show item total. (need a Business Plan or higher to install plugin)

(The answer contains an affiliate link, which means I will receive a small commission if you click and buy the plugin according to the link above.)

I use the filter plugin + lazy summaries. How do I display the # of blog posts?

Also, I'm having trouble with the distance (in miles) feature. Wondering if you have any insight on how I can fix it.

Hi. You try contacting plugin author via email or their Slack Group first.
