Adding the first snippet to the functions.php of your wordpress theme will display a count of all images within the media library. Add the second snippet in the location you wish to display the count total.
Code Snippet:
function img_count(){
$query_img_args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_mime_type' =>array(
'jpg|jpeg|jpe' => 'image/jpeg',
'gif' => 'image/gif',
'png' => 'image/png',
),
'post_status' => 'inherit',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
);
$query_img = new WP_Query( $query_img_args );
echo $query_img->post_count;
}
Code Snippet:
<?
img_count();
?>
Isn’t this part of WP core? I’m using 3.3.2 and it’s already there without this snippet.
