I am using Ultimate Member for this site. Though they provide the ability to limit character/word count in there sign up form fields, they provide no counter. I installed your plugin in hopes that it would show a counter in those fields, no such luck.
Is there any way to extend the counter function to other plugin’s text areas?
]]>Hi,
I have installed “Word Count and limit” but it doesn’t put any limitation on authors. What should I do?
Hi Jojaba,
I am building a guest blogging site for a client and browsed for a plugin that would give the author some indication of the amount of words they submit. Your plugin seems like a perfect solution but as I activated it I noticed that the Elementor page builder stopped working. I noticed you haven’t updated this plugin for a long time but would it be possible to have it work with Elementor? It would be so cool!
Thanks in advance,
Johanna
Thanks for plugin.
Trying to use it with the WP Idea Stream and with BP Idea Stream plugins.
The post type “ideas” is recognised and this plugin works perfectly with the above plugins in the backend.
However Ideas are first submitted on the Front End and word/character limits do not appear to be recognised.
Any ideas as to how to solve this greatly appreciated.

Hey there,
This plugin works fine however not for the The Events Calendar Community Events description field even though I have selected it.
Any idea why or what I can do?
I have an additional script running that works for the text mode but not for the wysiwyg editor so I installed the plugin.

Thank for your help!

Howdy fellows.
Here’s a fork where you can select any of your custom roles.
@jojaba feel free to use it in the next release. No rest for the wicked! ??
BTW i had to update the version commiting manually the 1.4.1 because the GitHub Mirror was outdated.
]]>Hi, great plugin, but can you please make the functionality to have all possible custom user roles, like shop manager?
Currently, it can only be done manually.
]]>Hi Jojaba,
great work with this plugin! I love it.
Word count on posts is very useful indeeed.
What about extending it to pages?
It would be great!
Thank you

Hi, I am using the word press theme ‘Directory Plus’ and I have the plugin ‘easy admin’. This is exactly what I am after as there are 3 packages that a client can sign up for… standard, corporate and corporate plus and each package has a set amount of words that they can add, which is a 100 limit. How can I get this to work in easy admin?. Tested in wordpress visual editor and works great, just can’t get it to work in the easy admin visual editor. thanks
]]>I’ve just tried this with all user types selected, limit is on, set to 4,000 characters, but it’s not showing the custom limit text, is allowing me to go beyond, and is posting with no problems. I also tried with just a contributor logon in case this was a problem with using the admin login, but it still didn’t work. Am I missing something, or is this broken for the latest release?
In addition to this, I’m having to use an average estimate of 8 characters per word and set a limit by characters rather than the 500 words I’d rather use. Is it possible to add a word limit, please?
Thanks!

]]>Hello,
Sorry I don’t have the time to do much more than provide you with a slight change to your code that fixes support for custom post types:
Line 240 in wpwcl.php as published:
<input type="checkbox" id="impacted_post_type_option_author" name="wpwcl_settings_options[impacted_post_types_option][]" value="page"<?php if (in_array($custom_post_type, $impacted_post_types_option)) echo ' checked'; ?> /> <?php echo $custom_post_type ?><br>
Line 240 in wpwcl.php, patched so value attribute matches post type
<input type="checkbox" id="impacted_post_type_option_author" name="wpwcl_settings_options[impacted_post_types_option][]" value="<?php echo $custom_post_type ?>"<?php if (in_array($custom_post_type, $impacted_post_types_option)) echo ' checked'; ?> /> <?php echo $custom_post_type ?><br>
Overall, a nice & simple plugin that does it’s job. Javascript alert function as a warning is a little obtrusive though. Some bugs here and there. But thank you for writing this.
