 * Hey,
 * Great plugin! Keep it up.
 * I need some way to decrease the number of characters allowed. My theme doesn’t
   support 140 characters.
 * I modified php and js script but it is not working fine. Is there any way to 
   do it?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@uplinkpunk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uplinkpunk/),
 * You can add below code to your theme’s `functions.php` file:
 *     ```
       if ( ! function_exists( 'bpps_text_counter' ) ) {
   
       	function bpps_text_counter( $counter ) {
   
       		$counter = 200; // You can change this count to whatever you want.
   
       		return $counter;
   
       	}
   
       	add_filter( 'bpps_text_counter', 'bpps_text_counter' );
   
       }
       ```
