How would I count (and display) the number of times a comment meta field's value is a post's entire comments?
e.g. meta key is "fish" and key value "shark" appears in 5 comments of a post.

You should be able to do a meta_query in a WP_Comment_Query():
$args = array(
'post_id' => 'post-id-here',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'fish',
'value' => 'shark',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
// Query the comments
$comment_query = new WP_Comment_Query( $args );
// Count the number of comments
$count = count ( $comment_query );
The WP_Comment_query() accepts a 'post_id' so you can search withing a specific post's comments.

What would the argument be for
post_idto query the current post comments?– PeteFeb 21, 2018 at 9:28 -
This is what i have...
$args = array( 'post_id' => $post->ID, 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'joinus', 'value' => 'Yes', 'compare' => 'LIKE' ) ) ); // Query the comments $comment_query = new WP_Comment_Query( $args ); // Count the number of comments $count = count ( $comment_query ); // echo the number of comments echo $count;– PeteFeb 21, 2018 at 9:32 -
@Pete Are you sure that the
$post->IDis set? Where and how are you using this code?– Johansson ♦Feb 21, 2018 at 9:51 -
I'm using this in my single.php loop - so I guess I need to find the current post ID– PeteFeb 21, 2018 at 10:10
