Post Word Count Plugin?

I’ve looked too ….. I give up ??

(I’ve mailed him though, so he’ll be here soon!)

/*

Description: Shows the number of words total, on a per post basis, or thispost out of total. Uses post_word_count(), total_word_count(), and out_of_count()
Version: 0.5

I am not aware if Robert is still supporting or upgrading this plugin. I seem to recall from a #wordpress IRC chat that he was surprised that I was still using it. However, it works just fine.

https://blog.nuclearmoose.ca/wp-docs/wordcount.phps will be where you can find the PHP source if Robert doesn’t have an archived or more recent version.

What is the tag that we use for that? I only know the basics of PHP and that’s about it, so please excuse me if I sound like a noob.

Thanks

<?php post_word_count(); ?>

<?php total_word_count(); ?>

<?php out_of_count(); ?>

I’m still getting an error, though. I’m not sure why either because I thought that was the correct tag but wasn’t sure because of the error.

What is the error ?
Plugin activated ?

Here is the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/projecte/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordcount.php on line 11

That is what I activate it. At that point, I haven’t even put the tag in the index.php page. Any advice?

Post the code you are using to https://paste.uni.cc so we can have a look at exactly what you have.

Here is the link to the code for the wordcount.php plugin:
https://paste.uni.cc/6619

Here is the link to the index.php page, which would normally host the tag for the plugin:
https://paste.uni.cc/6621

It could be that this plugin is simply not compatible with the version of WordPress that you are using. Maybe sneak by Robert’s site and see if he has been working on it or perhaps you can post a comment and get him to update it. I can’t see anything wrong with the plugin code itself. However, I’m not using the same version of WordPress as are you.

What version are you using? 1.2.2? Is so, is updating to that a big pain in the ass or is it easy?

Thanks

This is working fine on my site, but when I try to login to my admin area I get several errors like this each referring to different lines.

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /wp-content/plugins/wordcount.php:22) in /wp-login.php on line 42

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, any fixes?

Thanks

^ Make sure there are no spaces in between <?php and ?>
