限制Wordpress中的帖子数量

Question

I'd like to limit the number of posts of a custom post type to a maximum (eg 5 posts), regardless of the users. For example, say i have my custom post type named CUSTOMPOSTS, if there are 5 of these posts, nobody should be able to create new ones (without first deleting one of the others).

Can it be done?

Kind regards!

There are multiple ways of doing it. But the easiest is to hook into wp_insert_post and prevent it from working. You could force every new post to draft until they delete/unpublish an older one and when they do you can allow them to publish new one.
