03 / Website use cases
Where to use current term post count
Visitors like to know how much is in a category before they scroll, and WordPress's own term count leaves out posts filed only in sub-categories, so it often disagrees with the archive. Current term post count shows the number the archive actually lists, in your wording, with separate texts for none, one and several.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
Current term post count compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor; works without WooCommerce.
- Counts published posts; it does not count comments or views.
- Full-page caches keep the value until they are refreshed.
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 current term post count
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why does the count differ from the category screen?
The admin screen shows posts filed directly; the archive also lists sub-category posts. Choose Posts filed directly to match the admin.
Why is nothing shown?
There are no posts and the wording for none is empty, or this is not a term archive.
Can it say “products”?
Yes. Change the wording, for example “{count} products”.
Does it count drafts?
No. Only published posts.
Current term post count plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor, though archive templates are usually built with Elementor Pro's Theme Builder.
What does the default count include?
Every published post the archive lists, including those in sub-categories.
Is it accessible?
Yes. It is ordinary text.
Does it work on product categories?
Yes. WooCommerce product categories and tags are public taxonomies.
What shows outside an archive?
Nothing on the live site; the editor shows a styled sample.
