Displays a column with the character count for each post in the Manage Posts SubPanel and in the Edit Posts SubPanel.
As of April 2026, Posts Character Count Admin is a WordPress admin plugin with 1.0K+ active installations and a 4.3/5 rating from 3 reviews. It has been downloaded 16K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.9+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2010. Last updated 11 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Downloads are up 16% this week. Top alternative: Loginizer.
This plugin adds a column with the character count for each post to the posts overview in the Manage Posts SubPanel.
Additionally it informs about the character count for each post in the Edit Posts SubPanel (near the Word Count). So you
are up to date with the word and the character count while writing or editing your posts (after saving).
Works great but the count column should be sortable.
very practical and simple!
Hi there, thanks for your hard work. I really enjoy this plugin. 😀
May I suggest more idea?
It will better if it not only show the total of characters but also the word counts. 😀
Thanks Before 😀
God Bless You ALways
