WYSIWYG Character Counter Plugin

WYSIWYG Character Counter 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 Usage Register the character counter. 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.
