Preguntas frecuentes
-
Where are the settings?
-
There are none. The plugin uses sensible defaults (200 words per minute). If you need customization, this plugin isn’t for you.
-
Can I change the reading speed?
-
Not through a UI. The plugin is intentionally minimal. Developers can use the filter:
add_filter( 'mrt_words_per_minute', function() { return 250; }); -
Can I hide the reading time on certain posts?
-
Add this to your theme’s functions.php:
add_filter( 'the_content', function( $content ) { if ( get_the_ID() === 123 ) { remove_filter( 'the_content', 'mrt_display_reading_time' ); } return $content; }, 9 ); -
Does it work with custom post types?
-
By default, it only shows on posts. Developers can extend this with a filter.
-
Why no settings page?
-
Because you don’t need one. Reading time is simple math. The defaults work for 99% of sites.
