I am using the following code to access my categories.

$orderby = 'name';
$order = 'asc';
$hide_empty = false;
$cat_args = array(
    'orderby'    => $orderby,
    'order'      => $order,
    'hide_empty' => $hide_empty,
    'exclude'    => 18,
);
$context['categories'] = get_terms( 'product_cat', $cat_args );
$total_in_term = $context['categories']->count;
$context['TotalInTerm'] = $total_in_term;

And trying to display the category name following by number of posts that each term has in brackets after it:

{% for cat in categories %}
      <a href="{{ site.link }}/{{ cat.slug }}">{{ cat.name }} ({{ TotalInTerm }})</a>
 {% endfor %}

I am trying to get it to output like this: Category Name ( { number of posts in category } )

So far I have it outputting the category name and link only but not the number of posts it holds. Can someone help?

• Wouldn't you have to wrap TotalInTerm in {{ ... }} to get the variable? ie, ({{TotalInTerm}})? (nm, I see you've updated the question to reflect this) – Pat J Commented Jan 26, 2022 at 17:25
• What does display inside the () at the end? What does var_dump( $context['TotalInTerm'] ); display? – Pat J Commented Jan 26, 2022 at 19:07
• @Pat J Nothing is displaying inside () at the end at it's not working. var_dump displays NULL – EJ_95 Commented Jan 27, 2022 at 9:45

You're assuming that get_terms() returns an object with a count property, but it doesn't.

From the docs:

Return

(WP_Term[]|int[]|string[]|string|WP_Error) Array of terms, a count thereof as a numeric string, or WP_Error if any of the taxonomies do not exist. See the function description for more information.

Also, the way you're calling get_terms() is deprecated. There should be only one argument, an array that includes the taxonomy name.

So here's how I'd update the code:

$orderby = 'name';
$order = 'asc';
$hide_empty = false;

$cat_args = array(
    'taxonomy'   => 'product_cat',
    'orderby'    => $orderby,
    'order'      => $order,
    'hide_empty' => $hide_empty,
    'exclude'    => 18,
);
$context['categories'] = get_terms( $cat_args );
// Gets the count in a separate call.
$cat_args['fields'] = 'count';
$total_in_term = get_terms( $cat_args );
$context['TotalInTerm'] = $total_in_term;
