Maximum characters using Custom Field (paragraph text)

  1. Is there a way to place the maximum number of characters using a custom field paragraph text box? I see there is one for single line text, but it then disappears when selecting paragraph text.

    Alternatively, and preferably, is there a way to do the same using an except box instead?

  2. You would have to do this with some jQuery since the textarea fields don't support maxchar. Here's one method.

    There are plenty other scripts out there you could use as well.. most are very simple to implement.

    We do plan on adding support for this in a future release, most likely with a full character counter option, etc.
