Word count not showing on posts?

  • I thought it might be an issue with a plugin I’m running, but I’m not seeing a word count on any of my posts on WP 4.0. I’ve deactivated all plugins, and that hasn’t fixed me.

    Well, not seeing is probably not very accurate – word counts are all 0, even on posts I’ve written pre-4.0. I’m running roughly latest PHP5.5 and MySQL 5.5 on the server, if that’s at all relevant. The database looks fine on the surface, so am I missing something obfious?

    I ran into a bunch of other issues, mostly related to javascript, while trying to troubleshoot this issue. It warranted a reinstall of WordPress. Fixed my javascript issues, but this problem still exists. It only shows up on one site running 4.0. Problem exists in latest IE and Firefox on Windows 7.

    Alright, looks like it may definitely be an issue with the site’s javascript. I turn on script debug, I get a word count – but temporarily. It reverts to 0 again if I, say, move to edit a different post or add a new one. If I turn off script debugging, then refresh the page, word count returns. Again, until I edit a different post or add a new one. Then it’s back to 0.

    Correction to original post: I’m running latest php 5.4, not 5.5.

    Here’s what I’m getting when I debug the posts page in Firefox. Sorry I can’t expand these – I’m not entirely sure how, but hopefully this is enough information.
