描述
ReadTrack is a lightweight plugin that improves the user experience by displaying:
– ⏱️ Estimated reading time based on post word count
– 📊 A visual progress bar that fills as the reader scrolls
You can fully customize the text shown before the post using a settings page in the WordPress admin panel. The default template is:
⏱️ Estimated reading time: %minutes% min
Simply place %minutes% in your message to dynamically show the calculated reading time.
New in version 1.2:
– The plugin now uses the WordPress database (via get_option() / update_option()) instead of saving configuration to a file in the plugin folder.
– This ensures full compatibility with WordPress.org guidelines and multisite installations.
