Just a quick update: back in September 2016, all four of my public plugins, including Greg’s Comment Length Limiter, as well as an additional 53 plugins which I had not yet released, were acquired by a new development team. The websites for both Gregs Plugins and Faster Cache, and all support and maintenance responsibility, are now in the hands of the new owners. (The plugin repository still shows me as the author for the plugins hosted here, but I no longer have any access to the plugin files.)
Originally, we’d anticipated a public announcement directly from the new development team to coincide with a relaunch of the two plugin websites; although this hasn’t yet happened, I am nonetheless hopeful that plugin users will have much to look forward to in the coming months as the new owners progress with their plans.
Best wishes,
Greg
To permit the string translation on my multi-language blog I have added the macro function __() in file gcll.php at line 132
….
131: $limit = $this->opt(‘upper_limit’);
132: $available = __($this->opt(‘characters_available’));
133: $boxsize = strlen(strval($limit));
134: $out = <<<EOT
….
My multi-language plug-in was WPML. I have not found other ways.
This little change is correct for you or there are others (better) solutions?
Tnanks ??

]]>Hi,
Please note that the comment count, although it is displaying, is not updating the characters. Therefore, with each character pressed the counter is not updating.
Could be also with a plugin I have. This is the list of plugins I have https://i.imgur.com/9hysT.png – My site is https://zuntier.com
There seems to be no problem with Javascript on my site

]]>Hi,
I just installed this plugin but it is not working properly. The character limit number doesn’t go down and I could paste a very long text in the comments box.
I have the latest WP version.
Please help.
Thanks!

Comment form is skewed. The ‘Comment’ label that normally disappears when you type your comment is now overlayed over the counter.
]]>I installed GCCL on a site, the character count box (characters available) is displayed, and the limit is enforced, but the count in the box never changes.
With some effort I figured out how to hack comment-template.php to get the name in the form. This is from the page source:
<form action="https://www.sldforum.com/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" name="commentform" id="commentform">
The plugin seems to have made the changes to the textarea as well:
<textarea onkeydown="gcllCounter(this)" onkeyup="gcllCounter(this)" id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" aria-required="true"></textarea>
What else should I be trying/

]]>Hi I’m using v1.5.2 of your plugin, no comment_form function, but manually added textarea tweak:
<p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="5" rows="10" tabindex="4" <?php if( function_exists('gcll_tweak_textarea')){ gcll_tweak_textarea(); } ?>></textarea></p>
The counter displays but doesn’t count.
Chrome says ‘gcllCounter is not defined’.
I’ve found no reference to such function in the source.
wp_footer() gets called.
I also made a grepping in the plugin directory files but neither have found any reference to gcllCounter there.
Mystic, isn’t it? ?? What am I screwing up?

There is nothing around comment box!
I use cover-wp theme… Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi Greg,
I activated the plugin, and I am using the following comment_form:
<?php comment_form(array(‘title_reply’ => ‘Leave a Comment’, ‘cancel_reply_link’ => ‘or Click Here to Cancel’, ‘logged_in_as’ => ”, ‘comment_notes_after’ => gcll_show_limit_box_for_filtering(), ‘comment_field’ => ‘<p class=”comment-form-comment”><textarea id=”comment” name=”comment” cols=”55″ rows=”8″ aria-required=”true”></textarea></p>’)); ?>
The box displays, but as I type a comment, it does not count down. Any ideas?
Thanks!

]]>It doesn’t count the characters nor limit them.
]]>Hello,
my language (Czech) use letters with diacritic (“ě????yáíé …”).
In utf-8 strlen(‘ě’) == 2.
Problem:
upper limit is “6”
comment box contains “abcědef”
result would be “abcěde”
but in real is “abcěd”
Solution:
in function comment_trimmer add before 1st line
$length += (strlen($totrim) - mb_strlen($totrim, get_option('blog_charset')));

]]>I had this plugin working great, but it’s recently given up the ghost – I think since WP3.0.1 or thereabouts. The counter displays, but won’t count.
I initially suspected a js clash etc., so disabled all plugins, all custom functions, all js etc, still no go.
So then I set up a totally fresh wp install (completely untouched), and tried it out with TwentyTen, Classic, and Default. The box displays, the onkeydown and onkeyup are present in the code, but again, no counting.
Any advice would be very gratefully received! I really need to get this working.
