Excluding a set of words from editor word count

in ‘wp-admin/js/post.js’ you cam take this part and change it in your plugin:

/**
 * TinyMCE word count display
 */
( function( $, counter ) {
	$( function() {
		var $content = $( '#content' ),
			$count = $( '#wp-word-count' ).find( '.word-count' ),
			prevCount = 0,
			contentEditor;

		/**
		 * Get the word count from TinyMCE and display it
		 */
		function update() {
			var text, count;

			if ( ! contentEditor || contentEditor.isHidden() ) {
				text = $content.val();
			} else {
				text = contentEditor.getContent( { format: 'raw' } );
			}

			count = counter.count( text );

			if ( count !== prevCount ) {
				$count.text( count );
			}

			prevCount = count;
		}

		/**
		 * Bind the word count update triggers.
		 *
		 * When a node change in the main TinyMCE editor has been triggered.
		 * When a key has been released in the plain text content editor.
		 */
		$( document ).on( 'tinymce-editor-init', function( event, editor ) {
			if ( editor.id !== 'content' ) {
				return;
			}

			contentEditor = editor;

			editor.on( 'nodechange keyup', _.debounce( update, 1000 ) );
		} );

		$content.on( 'input keyup', _.debounce( update, 1000 ) );

		update();
	} );
} )( jQuery, new wp.utils.WordCounter() );

The idea is that we will change one of the settings of ‘wp.utils.WordCounter()’.

The plugin will be something like this:

function myplugin_countStopWords(){ ?>
	<script>
					var settings = {
					removeRegExp: new RegExp( [
								'[',
									// Basic Latin (extract)
									'\u0021-\u0040\u005B-\u0060\u007B-\u007E',

									// Latin-1 Supplement (extract)
									'\u0080-\u00BF\u00D7\u00F7',
									'\u2000-\u2BFF',
										'of','the','this','that',
									// Supplemental Punctuation
									'\u2E00-\u2E7F',
								']'
							].join( '' ), 'g' )
						};

					( function( $, counter ) {
						$( function() {
							var $content = $( '#content' ),
								$count = $( '#wp-word-count' ).find( '.word-count' ),
								prevCount = 0,
								contentEditor;

							/**
							 * Get the word count from TinyMCE and display it
							 */
							function update() {
								var text, count;

								if ( ! contentEditor || contentEditor.isHidden() ) {
									text = $content.val();
								} else {
									text = contentEditor.getContent( { format: 'raw' } );
								}

								count = counter.count( text );

								if ( count !== prevCount ) {
									$count.text( count );
								}

								prevCount = count;
							}

							/**
							 * Bind the word count update triggers.
							 *
							 * When a node change in the main TinyMCE editor has been triggered.
							 * When a key has been released in the plain text content editor.
							 */
							$( document ).on( 'tinymce-editor-init', function( event, editor ) {
								if ( editor.id !== 'content' ) {
									return;
								}

								contentEditor = editor;

								editor.on( 'nodechange keyup', _.debounce( update, 1000 ) );
							} );

							$content.on( 'input keyup', _.debounce( update, 1000 ) );

							update();
						} );
					} )( jQuery, new wp.utils.WordCounter(settings) );
	</script>
<?php }
add_action( 'after_wp_tiny_mce', 'myplugin_countStopWords');

The final code you can use in your plugin or theme:

function myplugin_countStopWords(){ ?>
	<script>
					var settings = {
					removeRegExp: new RegExp( [
								'[',
									// Basic Latin (extract)
									'\u0021-\u0040\u005B-\u0060\u007B-\u007E',

									// Latin-1 Supplement (extract)
									'\u0080-\u00BF\u00D7\u00F7',
									'\u2000-\u2BFF',
									//Here you can put a list of the words to uncount
										'of','the','this','that',
									// Supplemental Punctuation
									'\u2E00-\u2E7F',
								']'
							].join( '' ), 'g' )
						};

					( function( $, counter ) {
						$( function() {
							var $content = $( '#content' ),
								$count = $( '#wp-word-count' ).find( '.word-count' ),
								prevCount = 0,
								contentEditor;

							/**
							 * Get the word count from TinyMCE and display it
							 */
							function update() {
								var text, count;

								if ( ! contentEditor || contentEditor.isHidden() ) {
									text = $content.val();
								} else {
									text = contentEditor.getContent( { format: 'raw' } );
								}

								count = counter.count( text );

								if ( count !== prevCount ) {
									$count.text( count );
								}

								prevCount = count;
							}

							/**
							 * Bind the word count update triggers.
							 *
							 * When a node change in the main TinyMCE editor has been triggered.
							 * When a key has been released in the plain text content editor.
							 */
							$( document ).on( 'tinymce-editor-init', function( event, editor ) {
								if ( editor.id !== 'content' ) {
									return;
								}

								contentEditor = editor;

								editor.on( 'nodechange keyup', _.debounce( update, 1000 ) );
							} );

							$content.on( 'input keyup', _.debounce( update, 1000 ) );

							update();
						} );
					} )( jQuery, new wp.utils.WordCounter(settings) );
	</script>
<?php }
add_action( 'after_wp_tiny_mce', 'myplugin_countStopWords');

Thank you I’ll give it a try as soon as I can.

Thanks very much man it seems it works nicely. Only fix I had to do was wrap each stopword with \b regexp modifier to isolate them as words, otherwise they would get replaced even inside other longer words.

“\bof\b”, “\bthis\b”, …

Okay so after some test, the regexp needs some reworking done, because it works as character range replacement [x-ya-bc-d], not full string.
