Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Just Writing Statistics
Stopwords are common words like "the" or "at" that don't really add much to the word frequency count statistics but might dominate due to how oftne they are used. The stopwords list that Just Writing Statistics uses comes from here if you want to see what gets excluded per language.
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE WP Word Count has been off the plugin directory again since June 2024, and the redlettuce website is no longer available, so I guess it's done for good this time. UPDATE WP Word Count is back on the plugin directory, but still seems to be getting very little attention from the developers. Since I've already done all the work to fork it and publish it in the plugin directory, I'll continue to support this version going forward. Also Just Writing Statistics has a lot of features that were only included in the Pro version of WP Word Count, so there's that too. WP Word Count is by far the best plugin of its kind, however it is, as far as I can tell, abandoned at this point. Even worse, the existing plugin has a known security vulnerability in it and so wordpress.org has closed the repository. As such, a fork is required to fix the security issue and bring the plugin functionality back.
Statistics are inherently resource intensive, the large your site is, the slower the statistic generation will be. For the general content/monthly/yearly/author based statistics, these should remain quick to display no matter the site size as a custom table is used to gather the data whenever a item is saved. For Tags and Categories this is not the case and these are calculated at display time. Even with a largish site, this should not be significant, a few seconds at worst. If this becomes an issue I'll look into converting this code over to a custom table as well.
If a post type has no items associated with it, Just Writing Statistics will not include it in the statistic displays.
Probably not, but make sure to wait for the progress bar to disappear before reloading the page. If it is running for more than five minutes, then it's probably failed silently and you'll need to break up the calculation into chunks.
There are two shortcodes available: [just-writing-statistics] will display the number of words on any page or post. [just-writing-statistics-reading-time] will display the reading time of words on any page or post. Every Just Writing Statistics shortcode can be extended with "before" and "after" attributes to add text or HTML before and after the result. Example: [just-writing-statistics before="This post has" after=" total words."]
