Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Distraction Free View

No. WordPress core distraction-free mode is for writing in the admin editor. WP Distraction Free View is for the frontend visitor reading experience.

Yes. Use the Reader Mode Toggle block or the [wpdfv] shortcode.

Yes. Add ?reader-mode=1 to enabled single posts, pages, or selected public custom post types.

No. Font size, theme, and content width preferences are saved only in the visitor browser with localStorage.

Admin settings provide the initial reading defaults. A visitor's explicit theme, font size, and width choices take precedence in that browser while reader preference controls are enabled. A fresh browser without saved choices uses the admin defaults.

Yes. Reader Mode includes icon-only print and fullscreen controls in the modal header.

Yes. The plugin registers a default block-based Reader Mode template and a WP Distraction Free View pattern category. Themes and site-specific code can add more templates with the wpdfv_modal_templates filter.

Yes. Users who can manage plugin settings and have the WordPress edit_css capability can add scoped CSS from Settings > Reader Mode > Configure > Custom CSS. Scope selectors to Reader Mode containers, for example: .wpdfv-reader-modal .wpdfv-reader-content { font-family: Georgia, serif; } .wpdfv-reader-modal .wpdfv-reader-content h1, .wpdfv-reader-modal .wpdfv-reader-content h2 { color: #1f2937; } .wpdfv-reader-modal { --wpdfv-reader-accent-color: #3858e9; }

Yes. Existing saved settings remain in the wpdfv_settings option and old wpdfv_general values are migrated during upgrade. The supported shortcode remains [wpdfv].
