Simple stats (users, threads, posts) to use in WP theme

[racesimcentral]

Is there a way to easily get these simple stats from xf to show in a wp theme? Would I have to query the xf db?

Hi @racesimcentral these stats are saved for you already and updated anytime XFWP silently refreshes in the background.

Check out this doc article for instructions on how to access XFtoWP's stored data from the general settings, individual posts, and individual users:

How to access XFtoWP option and meta values

Use the following helper functions to access save data from the option key, and even get usermeta and postmeta values from any post, page, or user with a connected item. Integrate these functions into…

xftowp.com

To answer your question specifically, you can reference the following in your theme to access a cached version of your board statistics and other data:

$stats = xf_option( array( 'data', 'get_stats', 'totals' ) );

Returns a PHP array:

Array (
        [threads] => 93
        [messages] => 104
        [users] => 3
)
