## Descrición

**Just Writing Statistics is a fork of WP Word Count**

Just Writing Statistics tells you exactly how many words you’ve written on your 
site with statistics by:

 * Top Content
 * All Content
 * Month
 * Year
 * Author
 * Tags
 * Categories
 * **Frequency (new!)**

Just Writing Statistics also has reading times for each post and page of your site.
Find out how many hours of content you’ve written or let readers know how long your
articles are. You can include reading time at the top of each of your posts automatically
or use a shortcode.

### Features

 * Quickly see how many posts and pages you’ve created and how many total words 
   they add up to.
 * View and display estimated reading times for each piece of content on your site.
 * Support for custom post types so you can monitor word counts from content created
   by your themes and plugins.
 * View your writing output for each month broken down by post type.
 * See all of your site author’s word counts with breakdowns by post type.

 3. Just Writing Statistics can be accessed via the menu of the WordPress Admin.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### What are stopwords and why would I care?

Stopwords are common words like “the” or “at” that don’t really add much to the 
word frequency count statistics but might dominate due to how oftne they are used.

The stopwords list that Just Writing Statistics uses comes from [here](https://github.com/stopwords-iso/stopwords-iso)
if you want to see what gets excluded per language.

### Why fork WP Word Count?

**_UPDATE TO THE UPDATE_**
 WP Word Count has been off the plugin directory again
since June 2024, and the redlettuce website is no longer available, so I guess it’s
done for good this time.

**_UPDATE_**
 WP Word Count is back on the plugin directory, but still seems to 
be getting very little attention from the developers.

Since I’ve already done all the work to fork it and publish it in the plugin directory,
I’ll continue to support this version going forward.

Also Just Writing Statistics has a lot of features that were only included in the
Pro version of WP Word Count, so there’s that too.

WP Word Count is by far the best plugin of its kind, however it is, as far as I 
can tell, abandoned at this point.

Even worse, the existing plugin has a known security vulnerability in it and so 
wordpress.org has closed the repository.

As such, a fork is required to fix the security issue and bring the plugin functionality
back.

### I’ve got a very large site, how’s the performance going to be?

Statistics are inherently resource intensive, the large your site is, the slower
the statistic generation will be.

For the general content/monthly/yearly/author based statistics, these should remain
quick to display no matter the site size as a custom table is used to gather the
data whenever a item is saved.

For Tags and Categories this is not the case and these are calculated at display
time. Even with a largish site, this should not be significant, a few seconds at
worst. If this becomes an issue I’ll look into converting this code over to a custom
table as well.

### Why do I see post types in the settings tab that I don’t see on any of the statistics tabs?

If a post type has no items associated with it, Just Writing Statistics will not
include it in the statistic displays.

### Do I really have to calculate the statistics by date range?

Probably not, but make sure to wait for the progress bar to disappear before reloading
the page. If it is running for more than five minutes, then it’s probably failed
silently and you’ll need to break up the calculation into chunks.

However, even on a modest hosting provider, it would take hundreds of thousands (
maybe millions) of posts to get to this point.

### How do the Just Writing Statistics Shortcodes work?

There are two shortcodes available:

 * [just-writing-statistics] will display the number of words on any page or post.
 * [just-writing-statistics-reading-time] will display the reading time of words
   on any page or post.

Every Just Writing Statistics shortcode can be extended with “before” and “after”
attributes to add text or HTML before and after the result.

Example: [just-writing-statistics before=”This post has” after=” total words.”]

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.

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”.

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.
