After activating the plugin, reading time appears automatically on your posts – and on any other post type you enable. Everything is configurable from **Settings > MinuteRead**. **Features:** * Choose which post types show reading time – posts, pages, or any custom post type * 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, or `[minuteread_time id="123"]` for a specific post * 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 show the reading time for the current post. To target a specific post, pass its ID: [minuteread_time id =”123″]. ### Why Use This Plugin? * Improve user engagement * Reduce bounce rate * Help readers estimate time commitment ## Skærmbilleder [⌊Reading time displayed before post content on the frontend.⌉⌊Reading time displayed before post content on the frontend.⌉[ Reading time displayed before post content on the frontend.

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 style the reading time? Yes. The output is wrapped in `.minuteread-reading-time` – a `

` for the automatic output, a `` 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. ## Anmeldelser ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dc49ee6893f86982cc6b6b51c2b1374c51f216f0babe22b23b5036a1e0fe00be? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Cool plugin that does what I need](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cool-plugin-that-does-what-i-need/)󠁿 [tomdkat](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tomdkat/) 20. august, 2026 1 svar I was using a post reading time plugin that wasn't compatible with Wordpress 7 and it was miscalculating the reading time. MinuteRead solved that problem perfectly! It's apparently a new plugin, but it's one worth giving a try. I look forward to seeing how this plugin evolves over time!
