The following options are available:\n\n- Reading Speed (Words per Minute): Customize the reading speed used to calculate the reading time.\n- Reading Time Label: Define the text that appears before the reading time (e.g., “Estimated Reading Time:”).\n- Time Format: Choose between the full format (e.g., “5 minutes”) or shorthand (e.g., “5m”).\n- Automatic Insertion: Toggle whether the reading time should be automatically inserted at the start of posts.\n- Exclude Short Posts: Toggle whether short posts should display the reading time.\n- Short Post Word Count: Set the word count threshold for what counts as a short post.\n\n## Development\n\n### Adding New Features\n\nTo add new features or modify the plugin, edit the files in the `/wp-content/plugins/reading-time-estimator/` directory.\n\nMake sure to keep the following important files updated:\n\n- _reading-time-estimator.php_: Main plugin file, contains hooks and logic.\n- _settings.php_: Contains the settings logic and page.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- WordPress 5.0 or higher.\n- PHP 7.0 or higher.\n\n## License\n\nThis plugin is licensed under the GPL-2.0+ license.
