Hello!<\/p>\n

My calendar project includes a print component so I need to keep the word-count down. I’m using javascript to show the wordcount in real time. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to properly assign an ID to the description box so the javascript has something to reference (right now the text area just has name=”tcepostcontent”). I was able to change a line in Main.php to give it an ID. But that file isn’t under “views” so it can’t be altered in the usual themer’s guide way, right? <\/p>\n

Or perhaps there’s some easier way to hook on to that text area. Any guidance you could provide would, as always, be most appreciated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1123225","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nWord count in description box -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/word-count-in-description-box\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Word count in description box -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello!
