    Hi Marcel,

    thank you very much for your great work, which mostly meets our needs.

    There is one option I could not find:
    Is there a way to limit the number of words for the input field (in the form, not for the display widget) – e.g. to 300 words?

    That would be very helpful.

    All the best

    Hello Claus,

    Thank you.
    Such an option does not exist.
    I would want to look into that. Do you have experience with another plugin that has such an option? Or do you have some example code or a simple way to implement this? That way I could have a pointer towards how it can be done.

    Regards,
    Marcel

    Hi Marcel,

    Contact Form 7 plugin has such a option which is defined in the form template via

    [textarea your-message minlength:10 maxlength:1000 placeholder “Message”]
    <font size=”2″>characters left: [count your-message down]</font> </label>

    Hi Claus,
    For the next version this is already in.
    You can see it in git at gitlab:

    Not sure when 4.2.0 will be released though, there are some more feature requests waiting. It should be safe to try this git version out already, if you dare ??
