Display Total Post Count for a Custom Post Type

This short snippet lets you display the total number of posts for a specific Custom Post Type. Add the code where you want to display the post count and change POST-TYPE-NAME to the name of the post type whose count you want to show.

<?php
     // Get total number of posts in POST-TYPE-NAME
     $count_posts = wp_count_posts('POST-TYPE-NAME');
     $total_posts = $count_posts->publish;
     echo $total_posts;
?>
