Show character countdown in the Editor for Pages, Posts and Excerpts
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Character Countdown version 1.0 as active, updated 11y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.7.
Help editors by showing a character countdown reference on Pages, Posts or Excerpts.
This can be useful for constructing nice looking excerpts with the break point in a sensible place.
Easy on/off for Pages, Posts and Excerpts, so you can enable it just where you want it.
Note: This plugin does not actually limit the number of characters that appear on the front end, it just displays the count in the backend as a reference as you edit your content.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 4.7.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
