Recently found out about the original WP Word Count plugin and installed it. Fantastic little plugin. However, then I got a notification about a vulnerability in the code, and found this as a potential solution. Only comment I'd make is that it might be better to name the plugin something with Word Count in the name, so for example "Word Count Statistics" or "Word Count Tracker". I think it's hard for people to find it under the current name of "Just Writing Statistics".


Thanks for making this!
