Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use the shortcode?

* Post and page content (Gutenberg and Classic Editor)
* Text widgets and Custom HTML widgets
* Page builders (Elementor, Avada, WPBakery, etc.)
* Theme templates (using do_shortcode())

Can I combine category and tag filters?

Yes! Use [mdtt_total_posts category="news" tag="featured"] to count posts that match both criteria.

What happens if I specify an invalid category or tag?

The shortcode will return “0” for invalid terms, ensuring your site doesn’t break.

Does this work with custom post types?

Currently, the plugin counts only standard posts. Future versions may include custom post type support.
