Total number of posts in last year

Question

How can i echo total number of posts in last year ? I‚m writing article with stats, and want to get number of posts i published last year.

There is something here, but not for last year http://perishablepress.com/press/2006/08/28/display-total-number-of-posts/ It displays only total number of all posts

All you need to do is modify the SQL query. Using the code you linked as a base:

$numposts = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND year(post_date) = 2010");
if (0 < $numposts) $numposts = number_format($numposts); 

The 'AND' I added basically gives you all the posts of 2010. Change the year accordingly
