Word Count Wrong

    The Word Count for a number of our posts is obviously wrong (under-reported). There is nothing uncommon in the way these posts were created or coded – same as every other post. Some include FAQs and some don’t.

    For example, the word count for https://decorinteriorsus.com/blog/outdoor/what-is-upf/ is only 160 words. The actual count is 1,052.

    It would also be nice if we could sort by the word count in the WP admin.

    If you are receiving an inaccurate text count of the number of words on your page, this is typically due to the content of the page being created outside of the default WordPress editor. Some page builder plugins are not able to share the content created in them with the readability analysis feature of Yoast SEO.

    Can you let us know if you are using a page builder plugin such as Visual Composer, Site Origin, Beaver Builder etc to create your page’s content? The SEO and readability analysis feature scan sometimes not work correctly if you are using some kind of visual page builder, as they can cause the page’s content to not be accessible to the plugin due to it being created outside the functions of the standard WordPress page editor.We have additional information available on this issue at the following link: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/error-text-contains-0-words/

    I already replied that I didn’t use an external editor to create the posts.
