wp_count_terms() counts the number of terms in a taxonomy but not the number of post that have those terms and I've found that wp_count_post() does not accept a taxonomy.

So whats a guy gotta do to count the number of post in a taxonomy term?

Example:

Term: Apples Post: 89 (this is what I want to get, the number of post with the 'Apples' taxonomy)

Thanks!

The function you are looking for is get_term() http://codex.wordpress/Function_Reference/get_term

and the code would look something like this:

$term = get_term( 1, 'category' );//for example uncategorized category
echo 'count: '. $term->count;
