使用sticky_post从wp查询计数帖子

Question

I'm trying to count the number of sticky_posts inside a specific category.

first I get all the sticky posts :

$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

then here are my args :

$args_sticky = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post__in'  => $sticky,
'post__not_in'  => array($post->ID),
'category__in' => wp_get_post_categories($post->ID),
);

and then I try to count the number of posts from those args :

$sticky_number = count($args_sticky); 

the problem is that I get not the right result. I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

here is my full php code :

<?php 
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
$args_sticky = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post__in'  => $sticky,
'post__not_in'  => array($post->ID),
'category__in' => wp_get_post_categories($post->ID),
);


$sticky_number = count($args_sticky); 

echo $sticky_number;
    ?>

can anybody help me with this ?

thanks a lot for your help,

You are not counting the right thing. It should be:

$sticky_number = count($sticky);
