How much content does your personal WordPress site host?

Posted on by

This very one has content dating back to October 26th 2006, and currently sports:

  • 1,346 posts
  • 2 pages
  • 5 categories
  • 125 tags
  • 1,906 comments
  • 2,153 locally stored images
  • 77 locally stored videos

How does yours compare? Post in the comments.

PS: not doing this for bragging rights (mine isn’t that old or big), genuinely interested in getting a random data sample through this post, rather than a more structured way of gathering data.

  1. Looks like my first post was October 11th 2004. lolwuht.

    And I have….
    537 posts
    19 pages
    23 categories
    537 tags (surprise!)
    3,329 approved comments (4,356 including ones sitting in purgatory queues. Oops.)

    Not so much in the way of stored media, though.

  3. Because I’d rather write code than manually make the results. :)

    <?php

require_once( 'wp-load.php' );

$data = array(
	'posts'       => wp_count_posts( 'post' )->publish,
	'pages'       => wp_count_posts( 'page' )->publish,
	'categories'  => wp_count_terms( 'category' ),
	'tags'        => wp_count_terms( 'post_tag' ),
	'comments'    => wp_count_comments()->approved,
	'attachments' => wp_count_posts( 'attachment' )->inherit,
);

$output = "<ul>\n";

foreach ( $data as $label => $value )
	$output .= "\t<li>" . number_format( $value ). " $label</li>\n";

$output .= '</ul>';

echo '<pre>' . esc_html( $output );

    This is since the current version of my site which was started in 2005. I sadly lost the b2, b2evolution, and previous versions of WordPress-powered blogs.

  4. If i go with my main personal blog, which is also the oldest:

    3,749 Posts
    6 Pages
    37 Categories

  13. On my local site, which is currently a backlog of imported content from other services (Flickr, Instagram, Twitter), but which will soon be merged into my live site:

    • 10,413 posts
    • 0 pages
    • 5 categories
    • 4,665 tags
    • 0 comments
    • 0 attachments

    But on my real site:

    • 318 posts
    • 37 pages
    • 9 categories
    • 1,130 tags
    • 676 comments
    • 116 attachments

    Oldest post is 2003-04-08, but that’s from when I was running http://www.blosxom.com/. I actually don’t know when my first WP post was, but it was quite a bit later than that.

  21. My content is spread across five sites, many of which branched off from my personal blog over the years. The oldest post dates back to July 17, 2006, which was imported from Blogger or Vox. Doesn’t count my Livejournal archive or the static sites I used to blog on, which date back to 1999.

    Here are the totals:

    * 488 Posts
    * 22 Pages
    * 27 Categories
    * 1418 Tags
    * 1253 Comments
