Post count by tag in PMPro levels

Hi,

I’m trying to display the amount of free and paid posts that are available on my site in the Paid Memberships Pro level.php file, and I have it working for paid, but for free I have to manually change the number whenever I publish a free post, so I’m trying to automate that.

I think the problem is that I’m using the else statement incorrectly (there’s something missing or maybe I’m replicating the get_term_by too much or something).

Here’s the code I have that works:

<?php
	// Display the amount of articles
  if(pmpro_isLevelFree($level))
	echo '92';
  else
	$the_term = get_term_by( 'name', 'article', 'post_tag' );
        echo $the_term->count;

	?>

For the above code to work, I just add ‘article’ as the post tag to my articles.

Here’s the code I tried to use to automate that ’92’ echo, but it just stopped the whole page from displaying:

<?php
	// Display the amount of articles
  if(pmpro_isLevelFree($level))

	$the_term = get_term_by( 'name', 'free-article', 'post_tag' );
        echo $the_term->count;
  else
	$the_term = get_term_by( 'name', 'article', 'post_tag' );
        echo $the_term->count;

	?>

I don’t write PHP very much, but I suspect I’m just not using the else statement correctly, or maybe it’s the hyphenated ‘free-article’ tag that is the problem?

Any help with getting the code right would be great.
