works with divi for page word counts
very happy with this, I was looking for an easy way to get a word count for all the pages (not posts) on my site, and various code snippets didn't work with divi. I installed this, activated and boom, there's the word count so I can do it. Does exactly what it says on the tin, good job!

Works well
Hi Priit Thank you for this fine lil' plugin! I had to the following lines of code (at the end) to make the word count column sortable in the reusable blocks view: add_filter('manage_edit-wp_block_sortable_columns', function($columns) { $columns['word_count'] = 'word_count'; return $columns; }); Consider adding it to the plugin:) Thanks again!Oliver
