ParticipantHi
I am using AIO v2.0.2 an have various extensions activated, including Text Limiter. This works on the first field that has the parameter, but all subsequent instances don't work. Example below, only the _short_description field is limited.
function cta_product_fields( $meta_boxes ) { $prefix = '_'; $meta_boxes[] = [ 'id' => 'cta_product_fields', 'title' => esc_html__( 'Product Call-to-Action Fields', 'my-plugin' ), 'post_types' => [ 'sw_product' ], 'context' => 'normal', 'priority' => 'high', 'autosave' => true, 'fields' => [ [ 'id' => $prefix . 'short_description', 'name' => esc_html__( 'Short Description', 'my-plugin' ), 'type' => 'textarea', 'limit' => 128, ], [ 'id' => $prefix . 'product_availability', 'name' => esc_html__( 'Availablity', 'my-plugin' ), 'type' => 'text', 'limit' => 24, ], ], ]; return $meta_boxes; } add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'cta_product_fields' );
I have disabled all other plugins, checked the logs and console but can't track the issue. Any help or suggestions you can give would be great.
Thanks

ModeratorHello Marcus,
Thank you for reaching out and for your feedback.
There is an issue with the text limiter extension, it only works with the first field on a page. I've escalated this issue to the development team to fix it soon.

ParticipantI was coming in to post about this issue too. Glad it's not isolated to my website. Hopefully will get it working soon.

ParticipantI'm a little surprised this isn't resolved yet. Any ETA?

ParticipantCan confirm this too, at least for the admin area (seems, on the frontend it is working).
Text limit 100 characters is set in field group.
"Character Count: 50/100" is shown on a text fields.
BUT not on textarea fields.
So, more text is entered as allowed...
Will this be fixed?April 19, 2025 at 3:36 PM #48105Joachim Auster
Participantthis is totally frustrating. Now we have 19th of april and such an important issue still has NOT been fixed.

ModeratorHello Joachim,
This issue has been fixed. Please update MB Text Limiter to the new version 1.2.6 or MB AIO 2.1.1 and recheck the issue.
Thank you.

ParticipantWhy don’t you write it in changelog, if it is fixed.
So your changelog is neither complete nor trustworthy.
Is your changelog made by random? 🤣🤣🤣April 21, 2025 at 8:08 PM #48118Peter
ModeratorHello,
It is noted in the WordPress.org plugin changelog, see here https://imgur.com/WAmfnMk
for the MB AIO changelog, I will inform the development team to check and update it.Thank you.

ParticipantHello Peter,
sorry, please listen to your customers and their perspective.
Do you think, if you claim, that customers ONLY need AIO and all is inside, that a customers looks into details of different plugins. NO!So, you have 2 options:
1. You link in the AIO changelog to all affected addon changelogs that are affected by that update.
2. You copy all changelog entries from add changelogs into AIO changelog with appropriate wording:
e.g. Text-Delimiter: Fix for multiple fieldsSo, hopefully you do one of both from now on.
Option 2 would be the best for user experience, because no clicking is needed.Thanx in advance for your soon implementation. 🙂
