A quick fix for seo yoast v3.0.x and up

A quick fix to get back at least the characters counter (snippet in jquery)

put the following snippet afer tha last ?> (php tag) at the end of w-admin/post-new.php script.

<!– Start cutting here –>
<script src=”//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js”></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
setTimeout( function(){
if ($(“#snippet_meta”).length > 0){
$(‘#snippet_meta’).after( ‘<span id=”charactersCount”><span>’ );
$(‘#snippet_meta’).keyup(function() {

var charCount = $(‘#snippet_meta’).text();
charCount = charCount.length;

if (charCount > 156) {
$(‘#charactersCount’).text(charCount+’ limit exceeded by ‘+(charCount-156)+’chars (Max: 156)’);
$(‘#charactersCount’).css(“color”, “red”).css(“font-weight”,”Bold”);
} else {
$(‘#charactersCount’).text(charCount+’ chars. There are still ‘+ (156 – charCount));
$(‘#charactersCount’).css(“color”, “black”).css(“font-weight”,”normal”);
}
});
}
}, 3000);
});
</script>
