EffectIO MB Text Limiter 1.2.3

Description:

MB Text Limiter is an extension for the Meta Box plugin that limits the number of characters or words entered in text and textarea fields. It works only with text and textarea field types. When a maximum value is set, the field shows how many words have been entered and how many are left, similar to the post content editor. These numbers update in real time.

If users enter more than the configured maximum, the plugin automatically truncates the text so the length stays under the limit. Setup is done through the field parameters: add a limit parameter with the value 40 to a text or textarea field to cap it at 40 characters, and add a limit_type parameter set to word to count words instead. This is useful when you need to restrict the content entered by users and prevent unexpected results.

The extension suits anyone building WordPress sites with Meta Box custom fields, including developers who use Meta Box to create custom meta boxes and control their data. Meta Box must be installed and activated first. After that, the extension can be installed from the Plugins screen by searching for Meta Box Text Limiter, then activated. Once active, the limit applies wherever a text or textarea field is used.

The vendor’s own page for MB Text Limiter has the full details.
