# Using "post" for multiple field counts

 * First and foremost, great job on the plugin. It is not only functional but super
   user-friendly.
 * Currently, within the “posts count” option you allow user to select just one 
   category. Is there a way or any plans to count different fields and display them
   separately.
 * Let me give you an example. Currently, I am trying to display counts on two fields
   in my Forum:
    1) Total number of topics, by selecting “topics” 2) Total number
   of replies, by selecting “replies”
 * Currently, I can choose one vs. the other. Is there a way to display both?

 * It will not be possible.
 * But you can do it manually using the [wp_count_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_count_posts)
   function.

 * Thanks for your reply. I’ve been running around in circles, so this helps me 
   get oriented. I have very limited php knowledge, so would it be too much if would
   you happen to know what the php snippet would be (off the top of your head)?
 * The only one I’ve figured out so far is for member count, by using <?php bp_total_site_member_count()?

 * I’ll try to play around to get count on replies and topics, but if you could 
   help me out, it’ll be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks much in advance!
