Even simpler: found_posts ?> results for the search ‘’

I’m trying to count the number of posts with a particular tag and I’m using the following code:

query(‘tag=TAGNAME’);
echo ‘TAGNAME: ‘ . $my_query->post_count .”;
wp_reset_query(); ?>

I’ve tried adding your code in, in various permutations, but I keep getting out either the total number of posts, or the total posts per page each time when the counts are more than the number of posts allowed per page.

Do you have any suggestions here?

Thanks for sharing. I use it to limit whether or not the navigation links display to save page space. This works great!!

This really came in handy! Was having a similar issue, but it was displaying total posts instead. The posts_per_page=-1 fixed the issue Thanks!
