## Descriere

MinuteRead adds an estimated reading time label to your WordPress posts — helping
readers decide whether to dive in or save it for later.

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?

## Instalare

 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

## Întrebări frecvente

### 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.
