What Is Gravity Perks Word Count?
Gravity Perks Word Count is developed by Gravity Wiz and is a forms plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for advanced data collection. The plugin addresses the common issue of users providing too little information in text areas or exceeding character limits in descriptions.
It is designed for site owners who need to strictly manage submission lengths for essays, job applications, or support tickets. By setting clear boundaries, you prevent low-quality submissions and ensure that users follow formatting guidelines.
Gravity Perks Word Count Features
The feature set is built around providing real-time feedback and server-side validation for text-based form entries.
Supported Field Types
GP Word Count integrates with the core field types in Gravity Forms. You can apply limits to Single Line Text, Paragraph, and Post Body fields. It also supports Post Excerpt fields and works with Rich Text Editors, ensuring that even formatted content is accurately counted and restricted based on your settings.
Minimum and Maximum Enforcements
The plugin allows you to set flexible ranges for field content. If a user tries to submit a form with too few words, the plugin triggers a validation error. For maximum limits, the plugin automatically prevents the user from typing additional spaces once the cap is reached, though it also includes server-side validation to catch copy-pasted content that bypasses JavaScript limits.
Pay Per Word Integration
This perk can be combined with other Gravity Perks such as Pay Per Word. This allows you to set minimum or maximum requirements and charge a specific rate based on the final word count. It is a highly effective setup for directories or paid guest post submissions where pricing depends on content length.
