Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Count Characters, Words and Paragraphs while typing

Count CWP shows live character, word, paragraph, and space counts while you write in WordPress. It helps authors, editors, and marketers stay within SEO meta limits, ad copy constraints, or editorial guidelines without copying text into an external tool.

Counters display below the post and page editor, and below any HTML textarea field on admin screens — including custom fields from plugins such as Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).

Yes. Go to Settings > Count CWP and enable or disable character, word, paragraph, and space counts individually.

The character count excludes HTML tags and whitespace. It reflects the visible text length, which is useful for SEO titles, meta descriptions, and platforms with strict character limits.

Yes. Counts update in real time as you type in both the visual and text (HTML) editor views.

Yes. Since v1.0.7, the Posts list includes an All Counts column showing word, character, paragraph, and space totals for each post. Counts are calculated automatically when the plugin is activated and updated whenever a post is saved.

No. The counters run only in the WordPress admin area while you edit content. They do not affect your front-end pages or site visitors.

Live counters work on any admin screen that uses a standard HTML textarea. The All Counts column in the posts list applies to standard posts.

The live counters were originally built for the Classic editor and any standard HTML textarea field. The "All Counts" column in the Posts list works for every post, regardless of whether it was written in the Classic editor or in Gutenberg.

Yes. As long as the product description uses a standard text or HTML editor field, the live counters appear below it and the All Counts column tracks the totals.
