php - Wordpress $wpdb->get_var results in blank page -
i'm trying simplest wordpress database function return result , shows blank. query works fine in phpmyadmin , returns result want, not via page template in wordpress.
this function running on page template that's based off twentythirteen theme page.php (i replaced the_content() function). code below:
<?php function ag_get_count_to_work(){ global $wpdb; $num_posts = $wpdb->get_var("select count(*) wp_posts"); if ($num_posts) { echo "<h1>" . $num_posts . "</h1>"; } else { die(mysql_error()); } } ?> i might not have if statement setup correctly, trying without if statement (i.e., return result), result blank, , there no errors shown. can eagle-eyed developer tell me i'm missing please?
this not final function want, i'm trying break problem down origin , might it.
turns out function defined not called. because i'm used putting functions in functions.php file. once called seems work fine.
