    Hi,

    I want to show the number of published posts of post type 'video'.
    I saw the wp_count_posts function, but am struggling to get the code correct.
    {{ mb.wp_count_posts ( 'video' ) }} results in a critical error.

    How to achieve that?

    Hello,

    That function returns an object so it's not possible to output an object. You can output its property, like this:

    {% set post_count = mb.wp_count_posts ( 'video' ) %}
{{ post_count.publish }}

    Following the documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_count_posts/
