After my search query (with redirect to the main WP shop page ) my URL looks like
.../online-shop/?s=test&product_cat=0&post_type=product
I echo the count of the search results in the main WP shop template with the following code - which works fine
<?php echo $wp_query->found_posts; ?>
BUT unfortunately, the code doesn't work if a category is set to the search
.../online-shop/?s=test&product_cat=beauty&post_type=product
Any idea how to fix it?
After a lot of research i found a solution. The following works in both scenarios:
<?php echo $GLOBALS['wp_query']->found_posts; ?>
Hope it helps others too…
