Per https://www.worldanvil.com/w/WorldAnvilCodex/a/configuration Word Count should be available on the Articles & Categories page, but it never shows up, and the statistic can't be accessed anywhere else.
Go to account settings->verify I have a word count set->go to Articles & Categories page->no word count is listed
Hey dauten96 Are you by any chance talking about the "World Goal" ? This was never on the Articles and Categories, it was under the Dashboard and it is temporarily removed. It will be added again but it will be under the statistics tab Please feel free to reply here for any further questions.
