Wordpress: Count number of posts, exclude uncategorized

Question

Using this code I can easily get the total number of posts:

$post_count = count_user_posts();
echo $post_count;

But I need the total to not include posts that are uncategorized.

Answer 1

Use the following code and see the output:

$args = array('posts_per_page' => -1,'category' => '-1',);
$posts_array = get_posts( $args );
echo count($posts_array);

As default, id of uncategorized category is 1.
