Chris,

Thanks for the reply. Some more detail: the site only has 8 published posts. 


The codex says:

   Get the Publish Status Post Count
   To get the published status type, you would call the wp_count_posts() function and then access the 'publish' property.
   <?php 
       $count_posts = wp_count_posts(); 
       $published_posts = $count_posts->publish; 
   ?> 

So there are only 8 published posts. $published_posts is 8 but the WP_Query below is not returning any results:
$query->found_posts = 0

Any idea how that could happen?

?php
$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
$published_posts = $count_posts->publish; ?>

<?php $query = new WP_Query( 'post_status=publish' ); ?> 
<?php print "Blog posts: $query->found_posts"; ?><br> 
<?php print "Published posts: $published_posts"; ?><br>

Thanks a lot,

Kevin

$query->found_posts only show the amount found in the loop/query

wp_count_posts includes sitewide, cpts (pretty sure) etc.
