        ## words_added is only used in logpage because it's the only
        ## place we know the previous version's word count.
        if 'words_added' in (self.getConfigList("logpage_entries") + self.getConfigList("extra_logpage_entries")):
            new_words = self.story.getMetadata('numWords')
            old_words = oldvalues.get('numWords',None)
            if new_words and old_words:
                self.story.setMetadata('words_added',commaGroups(unicode(int(new_words.replace(',',''))-int(old_words.replace(',','')))))

I can't immediately see any reason not to remove that check, but I want to think about it a minute. I never considered that someone might want it without putting it in logpage...

Based off what you said, it looks like I need to change my logpage entries from:

logpage_entries: numChapters,numWords

to this:

logpage_entries: numChapters,numWords,words_added

I did review the logpage_entries settings in the "View Defaults (plugin-defaults.ini)"

However the only entries listed are these ones:

logpage_entries: dateCreated,datePublished,dateUpdated,numChapters,numWords,status,series,title,author,description,category,genre,rating,warnings

I didn't realize you could use "words_added" even if it wasn't listed as a logpage_entry.

Thanks,

I was never opposed to adding words_added to the logpage entries.

Hi,

Just an update, after adding "words_added" to the logpage_entries, the word count is now showing up in my custom column.

That was the last missing piece to making this work.

Thanks again for all your help and patience in answering my questions.

Question...
Getting a slightly annoying issue with a story where this:

"This world was merely modeled<em> </em>after the game she knew, not identical to it."

ends up removing that em tag completely when downloaded through FFF, so the words don't have a space between them.

Is there a way to prevent this?

For that story, you can do:

add_to_keep_empty_tags:,em

From defaults.ini:

## By default, empty tags are removed as part of cleaning up the
## source HTML.  However, a few tags should be kept even if empty.
## (Whitespace only, including   is considered empty.)  This
## setting can adjust which tags are kept.
keep_empty_tags:p,td,th

- Calc words_added even if not in logpage_entries.
- AO3: Site changed 'don't have permission' string

I think this came up regarding A03, but I don't recall it happening to FFN. Yesterday, using v4.52.0, all was well (hmm, that sound familiar). Today ... nope. I updated to v4.52.6 and still no change.

A follow up. Thanks to texasnightowl, I turned off my VPN and it works now. Stupid me. Sorry about any confusion.

[texasnightowl]

anyone having issues with AO3 today? just sitting at fetching metadata for minutes at a time. long enough that it says Calibre is not responding. I did update to 4.52 in case there was something changed or fixed, but same problem.

I last downloaded some stories on the 17th and had no issues at all.

edit: I also turned off my VPN in case that was the issue. But no change.
