Exclude posts is needed

  • We need a way to EXCLUDE pages (such as startpage, contact page) using the plugin.

    Right now your plugin is not usable for me because of this – it is a show stopper.

    Please add a field to recognize a comma separated list of post ids to exclude.

    PS: It would also be good if you would include a MINIMUM reading length/word count for the plugin to show the text. Because it is obvious that a small posting with 200 words is readable under a minute. By entering a minimum word count we can show this label only on actually long pages.

    Thanks for the feature suggestions. I’ll add them to the list of new features.

    In the meantime here is a code snippet you could use in functions.php to create array of post ids to exclude.

    add_action( 'the_post', 'remove_reading_time_by_id' );
function remove_reading_time_by_id( $post_object ) {
	$post_ids = array(
		'53',
		'10',
	);
	global $reading_time_wp;
	if ( in_array( $post_object->ID, $post_ids ) ) {
		remove_filter( 'the_content', array( $reading_time_wp, 'rt_add_reading_time_before_content') );
	} else {
		add_filter( 'the_content', array( $reading_time_wp, 'rt_add_reading_time_before_content') );
	}
}

    Jason,

    I second this request, but in the meantime, thanks for the workaround which does the job.

    Mark
