Result counts on a real category archive
These are the actual published outputs of the widget on page 3 of a sample category archive with 14 posts shown two per page: the default text, a styled entries bar and a total-only line.
02 / Inside WordPress
Archive result count controls in Elementor
Content › Text sets the result text with {start}, {end} and {total}, the text when all results fit on one page, the text for a single result and the text for no results. In the editor a labelled sample is shown so you can style it. The Style tab covers typography, text colour, alignment, background, border, corner radius and padding.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use archive result count
On a long archive or search results page, readers cannot tell how many posts there are or how far through the list they have got. Archive result count reads the page's own WordPress query and shows the range and total, with separate wording for one result, everything on one page and no results.
Blog and category archives
Show readers how far through a long list of posts they are.
Shop-style listings
Add a WooCommerce-style result line to post type archives.

06 / Choose the right approach
Archive result count and Elementor alternatives
Compare the existing Elementor workflow with this Complementor module before choosing your setup.
WooCommerce result count
WooCommerce shows a result count on product archives only. This widget covers blog, category, author, date and search pages.
Theme archive headers
Some themes print a count in their own archive headers. This widget is for Elementor archive layouts where the theme's header is not used.
07 / Requirements and compatibility
Archive result count compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor.
- Main WordPress query only; not separate Elementor loops.
- Text only; no pagination links (see Archive pagination links).
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot archive result count
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown?
The page is a single post or page, not an archive or search results page. The editor shows a sample instead.
Why does the count not match my Elementor post list?
It counts the page's main WordPress query, not a separate Elementor loop or custom query.
Why does it say Showing all 3 results?
Every result fits on one page, so the all results text is used. Clear that text to always use the range text.
How do I hide the no results text?
Clear No results text and nothing is shown when there are no results.
Archive result count plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it work on search results?
Yes. It counts the search results, including when nothing was found.
Can I change the wording?
Yes. Use {start}, {end} and {total} anywhere in the result text.
Is it accessible?
Yes. It is plain text in the page, read in order by screen readers.
Does it slow the page down?
No. It reads numbers WordPress has already worked out for the page.
