NOTE : Due to a lack of time, the latest version of this plugin supports the latest version 4.4 of Contact Form 7, which itself has a minimum requirement of WordPress 4.3. The 1.0.2 version of this plugin only works with older versions of Contact Form 7. It has been verified as working with versions 3.0 – 3.3.3, but with the CF7 update starting at their version 3.4 up through 4.2, this particular plugin may not work.
The Contact Form 7 Textarea Wordcount plugin inserts some additional functionality into the “Text area” field from the Contact Form 7 plugin. Enabling this plugin adds an additional field when creating a new Text area, where you can specifiy a “Max Wordcount” for that form field. When such a max wordcount is given, extra html/js is inserted on the front end view of your site’s contact form(s), which shows the current word count for that textarea, and cuts off the text inside the field after the given number of words.

Author Wordcount is a simple tool that allows you to enter the title of 
a work-in-progress (I’m looking at you, NaNoWriMo draft), a current word 
count, and a goal word count. These counters can be updated when you have 
new words available, and can be deleted when you’re finished. You can have 
any number of works in progress at a time, since if you’re like me, you’ve 
probably got a huge collection of drafts just waiting to be finished.
The style is based on an old component that used to sit on the sidebar of
