How to display the current counts of followers and following?

Millen — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 14:18:06 +0000

How could I display the current counts of followers, following and bookmarks in the front end.

I am currently developing my own theme and would like to know what PHP code is necessary to display total different counts for the current active/logged in user in the frontend.

example:

Bookmarks (9) | Following (89) | Followers (32)

I just need to display the actual numbers (counts).

This is fairly simple with PHP + UserPro API. Here are answers:

The UserPro API makes it so easy to access and display any functions quickly in your app / integration. First, the following/followers count:

To display the count of following for a user:

get_current_user_id() is current logged in user ID. I assume you will check that user has logged in already

<?php global $userpro; echo $userpro_social->following_count_plain( get_current_user_id() ); ?>

1	global $userpro; echo $userpro_social->following_count_plain( get_current_user_id() ); ?>

To display the count of followers for a user:

<?php global $userpro; echo $userpro_social->followers_count_plain( get_current_user_id() ); ?>

1	global $userpro; echo $userpro_social->followers_count_plain( get_current_user_id() ); ?>

These will return the count in PLAIN format. You can customize everything else.

To show total number of pages that user has bookmarked:

You will need the updated version of Bookmarks addon API

<?php global $userpro_fav; echo $userpro_fav->bookmarks_count(get_current_user_id()); ?>

1	global $userpro_fav; echo $userpro_fav->bookmarks_count(get_current_user_id()); ?>

You can access functions with one line using the API. A complete guide to the API will be available soon as well.

That did actually not work for me.

Do you think It matters that I got my menu wrapped with?

Here goes my menu and follow/bookmark counts

It’s impossible for me to post code in this forum.

Please refer to the pictures instead:

I just tested this code and it worked perfectly fine.

global $userpro_social;
echo $userpro_social->following_count_plain( get_current_user_id() );

1 2	global $userpro_social; echo $userpro_social->following_count_plain( get_current_user_id() );

I am sorry, can someone please try that code as php code in theme (with social active) to get the count of following users?
