    $fav_query->set( 'post__in', array(2783,2780,2793,2528,2873, 2477,2892,2890));

    

    _e("Total Posts=".$fav_query->found_posts, 'my-text-domain');



}

add_action( 'elementor/query/my_fav_query3', 'my_fav_by_user' );

My Answer:
>set('post__in', array(1, 2, 3)); // Replace 1, 2, 3 with the IDs of the posts you want to display__ return $fav_query;__}__add_filter('elementor/query/{$query_id}', 'my_fav_by_user');__?>

In the above code, you are using a custom query to display specific posts in the Elementor Posts Widget. However, the `found_posts` value is always returning 0 because Elementor does not update this value when using a custom query.

To work around this issue, you can manually set the `found_posts` value in the `elementor/query/{$query_id}` filter function. Here's an updated version of your code:

php
function my_fav_by_user($query) {
$query->set('post__in', array(1, 2, 3)); // Replace 1, 2, 3 with the IDs of the posts you want to display

// Manually set the found_posts value
$query->found_posts = count($query->get('post__in'));

return $query;
}

add_filter('elementor/query/{$query_id}', 'my_fav_by_user');


In this updated code, we are manually setting the `found_posts` value to the count of the posts in the `post__in` array. This should display the correct number of posts in the Elementor Posts Widget.
