Hello, when I use the shortcode in a text, the shortcode adds a space before and after time number. Could you please remove this automatic space? Thank you, Lucie

Hi,

I have installed Reading Time WP on a multilingual site, and on pages with content in Chinese the estimated reading time is always <1, regardless of the content’s length.

Is there are a way to fix this?

Greetings, is it possible to replace the less than symbol < with custom text?

TY!

Hi,

A few years back, we worked out how best to add ACF fields to the word count here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/include-word-count-for-acf-fields-cpt-and-multiple-templates/

I’m still using the same code, but now in PHP 8.2, using pre_split in the code for ACF fields that are empty kicks back a null response – which is also kicking an depreciation notice in the debug logs: “PHP Deprecated: preg_split(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($subject) of type string is deprecated”

While I can handle writing and tweaking some bits of code, I can’t seem to find a workaround. I had considered using isset() to wrap the preg_split on each line and avoid it even outputting any ‘null’ responses – but that attempt broke the code. My second thought was to add a conditional IF statement on each line, and thereby redefine any ‘null’ responses to 0 and avoid this issue… but I can’t get that to work either.

Thankfully it’s only error notices right now, so I’m setting it aside for the moment. But we’ll likely need a better solution when they finally release PHP 9. Any ideas? Or perhaps there’s a way to better include ACF (and other) fields into the core plugin without using the ?‘rtwp_filter_wordcount’ filter?

I would like to remove the Reading time from the Blog Page. I would still like it to show up for individual posts showing up on that page but not show up on top of the page.

Hi there, like this plug in, but i like to ask if and how it would be possible to change the font size to make it a bit smaller then the original Text of the Article. A hint would be very appriciated ??

Could you please help me with the following: https://www.loom.com/share/f8962a08103345b1a25bec3cd74b9fef?sid=f15fd176-00bc-4940-b6c2-ce21a4551923

This is the message from mega menu support: On line 289 it starts the code for a function: rt_add_reading_time_before_content

For some reason it sees the page being edited in Divi as a page and attempts to add the reading time message. You would need to ask the author of that plugin why it does this. Likely it needs an additional rule to exclude the Divi Builder

While using the shortcode makes this easy to adapt, it seems that the posted estimated reading time posts twice instead of once. Can’t get around it.

Hi, i have installed the plugin then found the strings to translate with WPML and done translation in Italian under String translation

When i visit the site (using Italian which is the primary language of the site) the strings remains untranslated, so in English.

I have cleared both browser cache and the cache of the caching plugin i use.

Any help?

Thanks in advice.

Good morning,

The “Display on Structured Data:” parameter allows display in enriched data and therefore in Google search results?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your plugin. I’m trying to have an icon as label. Is it possible to do that somehow? Specifying fa-classes for example or giving an html content in label value with <i class=”fa fa-clock-o”> for example. Thanks

Hi,

Is there any chance of adding support for adding the shortcode to a default Gutenberg Query Loop? Right now it seems to only get the reading time for 1 article (probably the first) and then repeats this for every post in the loop instead of calculating it again for every item in the loop.

Kind regards

Using ACF on this site.

Following your lead, I am using this in functions.php:

add_filter('rtwp_filter_wordcount', 'up_the_count');
function up_the_count($count) {

  $ACFcount = array(
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_field('flexible_content', $post->ID) )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_sub_field('content', $post->ID) )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_field('__news_related_group', 'option') )),

	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_sub_field('editable_text', $post->ID) )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_field('editable_text', $post->ID) )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_sub_field('editable_text') )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_field('editable_text') )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_field('image_desktop', $post->ID) )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_field('subtitle', $post->ID) )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_sub_field('title', $post->ID) )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_sub_field('description', $post->ID) )),
	count( preg_split('/\s+/', get_field('related_content', $post->ID) )),
  );

  foreach($ACFcount as $words) {
    $count += $words;
  }

  return $count;

}

Still not working correctly – all time is under 1 min. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Eddie

Hi,

I’m seeing the following error in my error log:

PHP Warning: Undefined array key “before_excerpt” in /home/website/public_html/wp-content/plugins/reading-time-wp/rt-reading-time.php on line 115

Wanted to make you aware in case you hadn’t seen this yet.

Thanks.

Hi Good day! I would need some help,

So for every post, there is a meta data that will show the author, date,time, comments, I would like to ask if there is a way to add a reading time in those sections in Post view category.

Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

The website I am working on at the moment is gonna be multi lingual, I was wondering how I can make WP Reading time work with WPML.

Are the texts: “Reading time:” going to show up in WPML’s string translation?

I just want to be prepared before I add the 2nd and 3rd languages to the website.

Anyone got expierence with it?

Your plugin in great thanks.
I am seeing the following PHP warning wiht WP_DEBUG enabled:

Warning: Undefined array key "before_excerpt" in /var/www/html/wp/public/content/plugins/reading-time-wp/rt-reading-time.php on line 115

Can you please address this so the warning will go away?

p.s. I don’t have WP_DEBUG enabled on my STAGING or PROD instances, and I know how to supress the warning.

Today I received a warning from Wordfence that this plugin is no longer safe and has not been updated for a long time.

in reading-time-wp/rt-reading-time.php line 290 add :

	public function rt_add_reading_time_before_content( $content ) {
	if (!in_the_loop()) return $content;
	$rt_reading_time_options = get_option( 'rt_reading_time_options' );

so that reading time is not added in reusable blocks in the widget bar

I try to use it even by shortcode with added id of one specific post, and it showing everywhere ‘1 <‘

How could I add Reading time as a field into WP Rest Api /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/ ?

Hello all,
on my blog, reusbale blocks are not included in the reading time. The linked post has almost 800 words and should show at least a reading time of 2 minutes (with a setting of 300 words per minute). However, the reading time shows <1 minute. Have I set a setting incorrectly or are reusable blocks not included?

Regards,
Julian

PS: If it was not my mistake in the settings, is it possible to include reusable blocks in the next update?

Hi,

We’re building an headless view with frontity and want to know if there is a way to access the reading time from a post withing the rest api.

Thanks

I uninstalled the plugin, but there is still time to read in the posts. Because? How can I remove reading times in posts?

I’m using Divi theme and I’m unable to add reading time in blogs list.
Also, I want to have reading time along with meta description in single blog page.

There is an error where i can see the reading time details at the bottom of every post, how can we remove this?

Hello,

We have the latest version of the plugin installed, yet, the reading time isn’t showing up in the meta description.

In the FAQ I am seeing there’s a way to remove the reading time from meta description, but how do we activate it?

Is it possible to add the reading time on the category page?
The way I have it here it′s only showing on the blog page.

Hello I have a slider that display my posts I’ll like to display the reading time for each posts Below is my code:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[rt_reading_time post_id="123" postfix="mins" postfix_singular="min"]'); ?>

it keeps showing the reading time for that page for all the posts on the slide how do you display the reading time for all the posts instead of a specific post on a loop slides of posts?

Warm Regards,
Aj
