Suppose you are the owner of a multi-author WordPress blog and you want to set a minimum word count for each blog posted by your author. So bloggers won’t be able to post short blog posts.
Here is a tutorial on how to set a minimum word count for WordPress blog. Once the word count is set, an error will be displayed when a blogger tries to publish a blog shorter than the minimum word count.
Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Editor, open functions.php file and copy-paste the following code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | <? function minWordCount($content) { global $post; $content = $post->post_content; if (str_word_count($content) < 100 ) //the minimum number of words wp_die( __('Oops: your post is below the minimum word count. It needs to be at least 100 words or more.') ); } add_action('publish_post', 'minWordCount'); ?> |
You have set the minimum word count to 100 words. You can change both the word count and the warning according to your blog standards.
