Description
This plugin adds a custom column to the list of posts and pages in the WordPress admin area, and displays the word count for each post and page in the column. It also makes the column sortable, so you can easily sort the posts and pages by their word count.
New Feature
• If a “word_count” postmeta exists, sorting by “Word Count” uses it for precise numeric ordering.
• Otherwise, sorting uses an approximate calculation based on spaces.
Adds the word count of each post to the post list in the admin area and makes the column sortable.

FAQ
-
Can I customize the column header text?
-
Yes, you can customize the column header text by using the
__()function and passing your custom text as the argument. For example, if you want to change the column header text to ‘Article Length’, you can use the following code in your theme’s functions.php file or in a custom plugin:add_filter(‘manage_posts_columns’, function($columns) {
$columns[‘word_count’] = __(‘Article Length’);
return $columns;
});
