Automatically displays a post's estimated reading time based on its word count.

== Description ==

This plugin calculates a post's word count in real time and estimates the reading time based on a configurable reading speed (in words per minute).

The plugin interface and the default reading-time text are shown in the site's language: English by default, and French automatically on French-language WordPress installs (a French translation is bundled). Translators can add further languages using the included .pot template.

Features:

  • Automatic calculation based on the post's actual word count
  • Customizable reading speed (200 words/minute by default)
  • Automatic display before or after the content
  • Customizable text and icon
  • Choice of content types (posts, pages, custom post types...)
  • [temps_lecture] shortcode for manual display anywhere

== Installation ==

  1. Upload the "temps-lecture-estime" folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress "Plugins" menu
  3. Go to Settings > Reading Time to configure the plugin

== Shortcode usage ==

[temps_lecture] Displays the reading time of the current post.

[temps_lecture id="123"] Displays the reading time of the post with ID 123.

== Translations ==

Included: English (default), French (fr_FR). A languages/temps-lecture-estime.pot template is included for adding further languages.
