   Add Custom Post Type to ‘At a Glance’ dashboard widget:

   function wpdocs_add_custom_post_counts() {
   	$post_types = array( 'wpdocs-project' );
   
   	foreach ( $post_types as $cpt ) {
   		$cpt_info = get_post_type_object( $cpt );
   		$num_posts = wp_count_posts( $cpt );
   		$num = number_format_i18n( $num_posts->publish );
   		$text = _n( $cpt_info->labels->singular_name, $cpt_info->labels->name, intval( $num_posts->publish ) );
   
   		echo '<li class="page-count '. esc_attr( $cpt_info->name ) . '-count"><a href="edit.php?post_type=' . esc_attr( $cpt ) . '">' . $num . ' ' . $text . '</a></li>';
   	}
   }
   add_action( 'dashboard_glance_items', 'wpdocs_add_custom_post_counts' );

   The Custom Post Type is shown with the same style as default Posts, Pages and Comments use, including number of posts and link to CPT list.

   • This code describes using dashboard_glance_items as action – but it is a filter and not an action!
