Описание
Word Count Goal Tracker helps bloggers, authors, and content creators stay focused and productive by turning every post into a clear writing target.
Whether you write daily blogs, long-form articles, or creative content, this plugin makes it simple to set writing goals and track progress in real time — right inside your editor.
✨ Latest Update
We’ve introduced a full Settings Menu that lets you:
— Set a global word goal to be automatically applied to all new posts.
— Save time by not setting a goal manually every time you create a post.
— View your live progress bar while writing.
— Get a quick notification when your goal is achieved.
Your existing posts will keep their own goals — the global goal just helps you set a starting point for new content.
💡 Perfect for:
- Bloggers who want consistent post lengths.
- Authors who track writing productivity.
- SEO writers who follow editorial word targets.

- Progress Notification – Instant alert when you reach your goal.
- Dashboard Integration – Easy access and management from one place.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
-
Does this plugin change my content?
-
No. It only tracks your word count and goal progress. It never modifies your post content.
-
What’s the difference between global and per-post goals?
-
The global goal sets a default for new posts so you don’t have to set it each time.
You can still assign different goals to individual posts if needed. -
Can I see my goal progress while writing?
-
Yes! The live progress bar updates automatically as you write inside the post editor.
