README
A WordPress plugin that counts characters in the WYSIWYG editor.
Why a character counter?
Currently there is no character counter for the WYSIWYG. Having one is helpful for editors and content creators.
Pre-requisites
- Composer
- Composer wordpress-plugin custom install directory configured
- WordPress Installation
Setup
{ "require": { "wpcomposer/wysiwyg-character-count" : "0.*" } }
composer require wpcomposer/wysiwyg-character-count
Usage
Register the character counter.
> theme-folder/functions.php
<?php use WCom\WYSIWYG\WYSIWYG; WYSIWYG::registerCharacterCount();
Why not just activate the plugin - which turns on the counter?
Good point. I'll decide in version 1.0.0 whether to automatically have character counting when the plugin is active.
Currently, the counter will work with the above code, even if the plugin is not active, which feels wrong.
MU-Plugin Instead
If you want to turn it into a mu-plugin, use a WordPress Autoloader.
Isn't there a Word Counter
Yes there is. However, whilst editorials require number of words, usually developers restrict by number of characters.
