Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Reading Tools: Word Count & View Counter with Accessibility Tools

Go to Settings > Reading Tools > Target Selectors and use the "Exclude Selector CSS" field. Enter the CSS classes or IDs (separated by commas, e.g., .ad-banner, .related-posts, #author-box) of the elements you want the plugin to completely ignore. The Font Resizer (+/- buttons) doesn't work. Go to Settings > Reading Tools > Target Selectors. Ensure the "Font Resizer Target" field contains the correct CSS selector for your theme's main text container (e.g., .entry-content). The Print button prints the wrong content or the whole page. Go to Settings > Reading Tools > Target Selectors. Ensure the "Clean Print Target" field contains the correct CSS selector for the specific content block you want to print. The bar appears in unwanted places (widgets, etc.). Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS in your WordPress dashboard to hide the bar in specific locations using standard CSS. Use browser "Inspect Element" to find a unique parent selector for the unwanted area (e.g., #sidebar .widget .lnwrt-reading-tools-bar { display: none; }).

Enable It: Check "View Count" under Settings > Reading Tools > Components & Options. Clear Caches: Crucial! Clear all caches (plugin, server, CDN, browser) and test in an Incognito window. Admins Ignored: Logged-in admins are not counted. Test logged out. Cookie Expiry: Wait for the cookie (check setting) or use Incognito. Check Console: Look for JS errors or failed AJAX requests (F12 > Console / Network).

Edit the post/page, find the "WRT View Stats" metabox, click "Reset". The count updates after refresh.

Sets the base number before the first view is counted. Example: Start Value 100 -> first visitor makes count 101. A per-post override (set via metabox before first view) takes precedence.

Yes, under Settings > Reading Tools > Components & Options.

By default, the calculation is based on the text content after WordPress filters have run. For perfect accuracy, use the "Word Count Target" and "Exclude Selector CSS" settings to define exactly which areas should and shouldn't be counted.

[lnwrt_only_tools]: Displays only the interactive buttons (Resizer, Reset, Contrast, Print) based on enabled settings. Useful for manual placement. Requires plugin assets (JS/CSS) to be loaded on the page.
