Include word count for ACF fields, CPT, and multiple templates
-
Hi,
I’m trying to find a nice easy way to estimate the word count automatically for my site without either manually figuring it out for each and every page – or writing my own code within my child theme. I THINK your plugin can help… but a running into similar issue others have had: that the plugin at default only includes ‘post_content’ and ignores everything else.
I see in two other forum posts (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/custom-fields-290/ & https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/adding-to-count-with-acf-flexible-content/) that you’ve added the ‘rtwp_filter_wordcount’ filter along with the ‘up_the_count’ function. While I can follow the gist of both answers, it seems like they understood coding a bit better than my piece-meal dabbling.
My setup is a child of the Hello Elementor theme + Elementor Pro to build my page templates.
– First of all, I see that the plugin already includes my CPT ‘review’ = perfect!
– I KNOW I can use the above filter to include other ACF fields in the total count for the post/page/review.
– But while the template for ‘review’ has two fields: post_content and another WYSIWYG ACF field called ‘queerrelevance’, my template for “Top 5” posts includes the original post_content plus another 5 WYSIWYG ACF fields. Another template only uses the ‘post_content’ plus 3 additional WYSIWYG ACF fields.If I understand the filter correctly, if I lump all the various WYSIWYG ACF fields into one filter and that page doesn’t have all of those fields, it’ll start kicking back errors? But equally if I start adding in conditional functions along with the filters, I feel like it’ll get boggled down with excess coding and defeat the simplicity of using the plugin. Is there something I am missing?

Hi,
Gave it a try… but it’s still not including the other ACF fields in the total count.
I’m using the following post in question as reference: https://queerfilmreviews.com/reviews/thelaramieproject/
The reading time underneath the page title is manually calculated without the plugin and what I’m trying to match = 19 min read. At the very bottom of the main content block (just above “My Rating Breakdown” is the result from the plugin with the filters added = 13 min read (which is just the main post_content block).I tried two different methods:
add_filter( 'rtwp_filter_wordcount', 'up_the_count' ); function up_the_count( $count ) { return $count += $ACFcount; $ACFcount=array( preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'imdbsynopsis', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'queerrelevance', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_movie_1', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_movie_2', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_movie_3', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_movie_4', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_movie_5', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'pscontentbox', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_1', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_2', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_3', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_4', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_5', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_6', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_7', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_8', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_9', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_10', ) ), preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( 'synopsis_season_11', ) ), ); }I then tried this route:
add_filter( 'rtwp_filter_wordcount', 'up_the_count' ); function up_the_count( $count ) { return $count += count(preg_split( '/\s+/', get_field( $ACFcount, ) ),); $ACFcount=array('imdbsynopsis', 'queerrelevance', 'synopsis_movie_1', 'synopsis_movie_2', 'synopsis_movie_3', 'synopsis_movie_4', 'synopsis_movie_5', 'pscontentbox', 'synopsis_season_1', 'synopsis_season_2', 'synopsis_season_3', 'synopsis_season_4', 'synopsis_season_5', 'synopsis_season_6', 'synopsis_season_7', 'synopsis_season_8', 'synopsis_season_9', 'synopsis_season_10', 'synopsis_season_11', ); }Again, I’m certainly no expert and had to reference the get_field() format while tweaking what worked for the other two users. I probably have something wrong – just not sure what that might be. Thoughts?
