I came across this word count plugin that’s easier than inserting the code, and also gives other information. Although, it counts hyperlinks as well so it’s kind of in accurate. Maybe someone can mode it.

Thanks, but I’m having a little problem. I’m pasting this after the div:
<?php
$countpost = $post->post_content;
$countpost = preg_replace('/s+/', ' ', strip_tags($countpost)); // remove white space and html
$words = ((count(explode(" ",$countpost)) + count(explode(".r",$countpost)))-1); // count spaces and periods
if ($words == 1)
{
echo "<p class="note">Post length: ~ $words word
";
}
else
{
echo "<p class="note">Post length: ~ $words words
";
}
?>
…but I get an error that says “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/allen/public_html/behindthedreams/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php on line 163”
Any ideas? Thanks
