Podcast Count Shortcode
<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: Podcast Shortcode
* Description: Adds a shortcode to display your podcast count. <code>[podcast-count]</code>
* Version: 1.0
* Author: Daron Spence
* Author URI: https://daronspence.com/
*
* A simple shortcode to display the number of published podcasts on your site. Uses the `podcast` post type.
*
* Use the minus/plus attributes to change the specified number from the final total.
* Useful if you want to build a little suspense and create something like: "We have 100+ podcasts!"
* (when in reality you have 101 podcasts)
*
* [podcast-count minus="1"] or [podcast-count plus="3"] or [podcast-count minus="2" plus="2"]
*
* Requires PHP 5.3+ for anonymous functions. Rewrite it if you want. You have been warned!
