Stuff & Things Reading Estimate

Descripción

Stuff & Things Reading Estimate adds a small, unobtrusive “X min read” estimate to your posts so readers know what they’re getting into.

  • Automatically shown before or after the content on single posts — your choice.
  • Or turn automatic display off and place it exactly where you want with the [reading_time] shortcode.
  • Set your own reading speed (words per minute) and label (e.g. %s min read, About %s minutes).

That’s the whole plugin. No accounts, no upsells, no external services, nothing phoned home. The estimate is calculated on your server from the post’s word count.

How the estimate works

Word count = the post content with HTML and shortcodes stripped, divided by your words-per-minute setting, rounded up (minimum 1 minute).

Instalación

  1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and choose the plugin ZIP, or copy the stuff-and-things-reading-estimate folder into wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
  3. Go to Settings > Reading Time to set the speed, position, and label.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I show it somewhere other than the top or bottom of a post?

Yes. Set “Show on posts” to “Don’t show automatically” and use the [reading_time] shortcode wherever you like inside a post or page.

Does it work on pages or custom post types?

Automatic display targets single blog posts. For pages or other content, use the [reading_time] shortcode.

Can I style it?

Yes — the estimate is wrapped in <p class="reading-time">, so you can target .reading-time in your theme’s CSS.
