This meta key will count how many posts of a post type a user has published and will add it to their wordpress usermeta under the meta key “user_member_post_count”.
Change the TRACED POST TYPE "member" to whatever post type you want.
The meta key would be user_member_post_count and change "member" to whatever post slug you entered below so for example user_profile_post_count or user_event_post_count
