Ok, so right now I can easily echo the number of posts that has a specific meta_key
and meta_value
:
$query = new WP_Query(
array(
'meta_key' => 'usp-custom-1',
'meta_value' => get_permalink()
)
);
echo $query->found_posts;
I’m trying to do something similar except for echoing the number of users that has a specific user_meta data.
I’m trying this:
$query = new WP_User_Query(
array(
'meta_key' => 'cash_out_status',
'meta_value' => 'pending'
)
);
echo $query->found_users;
But the above doesn’t display anything.
I guess I’m making a mistake somewhere in the code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

We have the public properties:
WP_Query->found_posts
WP_Comment_Query->found_comments
WP_Network_Query->found_networks
WP_Site_Query->found_sites
but then comes this private property (that’s also made public via magic getter):
WP_User_Query::$total_users
but not found_users
as expected, so the confusion is natural 🙂
Look into the public get_total()
method and the count_total
bool attribute (true by default) in the docs.
