Chart problem for rtl languages
by Amirreza Shayesteh Far | امیررضا شایسته فر·1 year ago·3 replies
Hey there!
We’re using this plugin on our wordpress rtl website. But in wordpress dashboard we have a problem with Chart styles.
It’s need some improvements to fix.
Thanks for making this!

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”.
Thank you for forking this plugin!

This plugin helps me stay motivated and accountable with my Blogging. It’s a shame WP Word Count is no longer supported but thank you for maintaining this one. Works perfectly for my needs.

Just needed a quick word count for my entire site. Works like the WP Word Count plugin that got deleted. Thanks.
