常见问题:
Does it work with all themes?
Yes. The reading time is injected via the standard the_content filter, which is supported by every properly coded WordPress theme.
Can I change the words-per-minute speed?
Yes. Go to Settings > MinuteRead and update the "Words per minute" field. The default is 200 (average adult reading speed). Accepted range: 50-1000.
Can I change the label text?
Yes. Use the Label field in Settings to replace "Estimated Reading Time" with any text you prefer - including text in your own language.
Can I change how the time is displayed?
Yes. Use the Time Format field. The placeholder %d will be replaced with the number of minutes. Examples: %d min, %d minutes, %d dakika.
Can I style the reading time?
Yes. The output is wrapped in .minuteread-reading-time - a <p> for the
automatic output, a <span> for the shortcode. Add your own rules under
Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS (classic themes) or Appearance >
Editor > Styles > Additional CSS (block themes). For full control of the
markup, use the minuteread_output_html filter.
Can I show the reading time only in specific locations?
Yes. Untick every post type under "Show On" to turn off automatic insertion, then
place the [minuteread_time] shortcode exactly where you want it. Inside the loop
it uses the current post; outside it, pass an ID: [minuteread_time id="123"].
Does it work with Bengali, Arabic, or other non-Latin scripts?
Yes. Words are counted in a Unicode-aware way, so text that mixes scripts - Bengali with a few English terms, for example - is counted correctly. Chinese and Japanese, which do not put spaces between words, are counted by character instead.
Does it work with custom post types?
Yes. Go to Settings > MinuteRead and tick the post types you want under
"Show On" - every public post type registered on your site is listed. Developers
can also override the list with the minuteread_post_types filter.
Is it translation-ready?
Yes. WordPress automatically loads translations for plugins hosted on WordPress.org.
