Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Reading Time WP
On initial installation your reading time should be showing where the_content is called in your template. If it is not, navigate to the Reading Time WP settings menu in the WP Dashboard Settings menu and make sure the "Insert Reading Time before content" option is checked.
Just navigate to the Reading Time WP settings page and select which post types you want your Reading Times to display on. Reading Time WP defaults to posts and pages.
Easy, turn off the "Insert Reading Time before content" option form the Reading Time settings within your WP Dashboard's settings. Then use the Reading Time WP shortcode [rt_reading_time label="Reading Time:" postfix="minutes"]. Best of all the label and postfix parameters are optional.
Still easy, but you'll need to use WordPress' built in do_shortcode function. Simply place <?php echo do_shortcode('[rt_reading_time label="Reading Time:" postfix="minutes"]'); ?> into your theme wherever you please.
Just edit the Reading time label and Reading time postfix fields in the Reading Time WP Settings. The label appears before the time and the postfix after. Feel free to leave either blank to not use that field.
Yes! Reading Time WP calculates images based on Medium's article on the topic here: https://blog.medium.com/read-time-and-you-bc2048ab620c. So for the first image add 12 seconds, second image add 11, ..., for image 10+ add 3 seconds each.

Just hook into the rtwp_filter_wordcount filter and increment the word count the reading time is based on.
Use the optional page_id attribute on the shortcode. e.g. [rt_reading_time label="Reading Time:" postfix="minutes" postfix_singular="minute" post_id="123"]
