Description

Help editors by showing a character countdown reference on Pages, Posts or Excerpts.

This can be useful for constructing nice looking excerpts with the break point in a sensible place.

Easy on/off for Pages, Posts and Excerpts, so you can enable it just where you want it.

Note: This plugin does not actually limit the number of characters that appear on the front end, it just displays the count in the backend as a reference as you edit your content.

  2. Activate the plugin through the WordPress ‘Plugins’ dashboard.
  3. Configure the plugin by going to the Character Countdown tab that appears in your admin menu.
