Hello @bubdev,
the hook of my plugin is different than WordPress’ one:
WordPress uses postmeta_form_limit.
Posts in Sidebar uses pis_postmeta_limit.
Try using this filter:
function pis_custom_field_limit_increase( $limit ) {
$limit = 50;
return $limit;
}
add_filter( 'pis_postmeta_limit' , 'pis_custom_field_limit_increase' );
Regarding the second question, I added this feature in 3.3 version, that should be released very soon. The user will be able to limit the post meta content to a certain number of words.
@bubdev
I’m wondering if it’s better to limit post meta content in words or in letters… What would be better for the average user of this feature?

Wonderful! Thanks for the great support. And I’ll happily wait for v.3.3.

Sorry, I just saw your question above.
I think it’s mainly a question of personal preference but can also depend on project specific priorities.
From a designer’s perspective I’d say limit it by characters, because it allows for more symmetric blocks of content, and it’s certainly better for very short texts (1 or 2, max. 3 narrow lines of text).
For longer texts I think a word limit usually looks more appropriate.
So in respect to what I guess is the majority of use cases, I’d implement a character limit (if both options are not an option :)).
@bubdev
OK, I’ll implement a character limit.
For the new release, please be patient, because I have to resolve some personal things. Anyway I think to make the new release in the next few days.
@bubdev
The 3.3 version has just been released!
Let me know if you encounter any bug, please.

Hello aldolat,
when controlling the content limit of a custom field, in some cases I’m getting weird glyphs instead of the proper last letter. I think it happens with umlauts and accents.
Here is a screenshot: http://uploadpie.com/uta2u

Hello,
does this happen at the end of the phrase only?

Yes, only the last character seems to be affected.
@bubdev
I just released PiS 3.3.1 that fixes this specific issue. Please, let me know if you resolve.
