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/
