Is there any way to get this information from the Ghost API? Or anywhere else? For us, the total paid members would be amazing, we’re not looking to break down by tiers for now.

We’ve also looked at:

Also following this! Have a feeling it could be theme specific. What theme are you working with? Have you had any luck finding the answer?

Thanks everyone!

No luck yet I’m afraid. This example is from a different memberships tool (Steady - Steady — Get paid for what you already do | Steady – People-Powered Media)

The code is from here: https://codepen.io/robotballoon/pen/MWqmvM

This isn’t scaleable but is working for now - a future long term solution would be really useful.
