Nice one. Good luck

So the plugin only controls it’s own textarea, mainly because I’ve never really needed it to do anything else. The Wysiwyg editor is a lot harder to control, but I did play around with it about 6 months ago and it’s in this branch in the github repo:

https://github.com/AtomicSmash/ACF-limiter-field/tree/wysiwyg

I haven’t really tested it properly but give it a go. If it doesn’t work please provide a proper breakdown of any errors. Then when I have time I’ll try and sort.

Hi there, nice spot, thanks for this. This is from when there was a bundled version of jQuery.

Will sort ??

No worries, glad it’s of use ??

Hi @theatereleven,

Well I currently use this plugin on about 10 different live wordpress sites. So I need to keep it up to date for my own sanity. The only thing is if something similar becomes available in the core of ACF, then there will be no need for the plugin.

Not to worry though, if you convert a limiter field to a textarea, or text field the content remains the same. So in the case of future proofing you would only need to switch to the new type of field and re-add the character limit. The user generated content will stay in tact.

Cheers,

Dave.

Thank you @theatereleven. Glad you found it useful!

Hi @darrylcoder,

That was me rushing :/ Sorted now buddy! I’ll update the WP repo asap.

Hi mate,

I’ve added a counter. The latest version is available here: https://github.com/AtomicSmash/ACF-limiter-field.

You will see a new option in the backend – “Display character count”.

Please test and if everything works I’ll update the WordPress version.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi mate, I’ll look into that!
