After activating the plugin, reading time appears automatically before every post. Everything is configurable from **Settings > MinuteRead**. **Features:** * Automatically displays reading time on all single posts * Choose to show reading time before or after the content * Configurable words-per-minute reading speed (default: 200, range: 50–1000) * Custom label text — change “Estimated Reading Time” to anything you like * Custom time format — use “%d min”, “%d minutes”, or any text with %d as placeholder * Enable / disable without deactivating the plugin * `[minuteread_time]` shortcode — place reading time anywhere * Works with non-Latin scripts (Bengali, Arabic, CJK, etc.) * Lightweight: no jQuery, no external requests * Developer-friendly: `minuteread_reading_time_output`, `minuteread_word_count`,` minuteread_output_html` filters * Translation-ready **Shortcode usage:** Place `[minuteread_time]` in any post, page, or widget to display the reading time for the current post. ### Why Use This Plugin? * Improve user engagement * Reduce bounce rate * Help readers estimate time commitment ## Àwọn àwòrán ìbòjú * [[ * Reading time displayed before post content on the frontend. * [[ * Admin settings page — configure label, format, position, and words per minute. ## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀ 1. Upload the `minuteread` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Visit **Settings > MinuteRead** to configure the plugin ## FAQ ### 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 show the reading time only in specific locations? Disable the automatic insertion by unchecking **Enable Plugin** in settings, then use the `[minuteread_time]` shortcode to place it exactly where you want. ### Does it work with Bengali, Arabic, or other non-Latin scripts? Yes. The plugin first tries the standard Latin word counter, then falls back to a whitespace-based counter that works for any language. ### Does it work with custom post types? Currently the automatic insertion works for posts only. Custom post type support is planned for a future update. ### Is it translation-ready? Yes. WordPress automatically loads translations for plugins hosted on WordPress. org. ## Àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò Kò sí àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò fún plugin yìí. ## Àwọn Olùkópa & Olùgbéejáde “MinuteRead — Reading Time for Posts” jẹ́ ètò ìṣàmúlò orísun ṣíṣí sílẹ̀.
