Hello guys, my site is http://concursospublicos.ninja,

I installed the plugin “WP Time to Read”, you can see this plugin here: https://mythemeshop.com/plugins/wp-time-to-read/

but I have to add a code in some pages to plugin works correctly. So I opened a topic in the forum of the developer of the plugin, and they answered this:

Hello,
You seem to be using Visual Composer plugin to build up you homepage. It is slightly tricky in that case since you need to edit the modules in order to show the time to read in all modules. I would request you to ask your theme developer if there is an easier way to do it. Otherwise, you have to find all instances of this code in all files:
<h1 itemprop=”name” class=”entry-title td-page-title”>
<span><?php the_title() ?></span>
</h1>
and paste the code for Time to read below it.

Basically the plugin do 2 things:

1. Shows how much time takes to read each post, as you can see here: http://remedioparaquedadecabelo.net.br/artigos/ (for example “10 minutes to read”, but this site is translated to pt-br)

2. When you scrolls the page, the plugin shows a progress bar of read content in the top of the post, as you can see here: http://remedioparaquedadecabelo.net.br/tratamentos-para-a-queda-de-cabelo/

So, please answer this question to me.

Hi,

1. You can edit modules(each module where you want time to appear) and add your code after date if you want to display it there – http://screencast.com/t/bIsCMjkO
2. I see that progress bar but I don’t know what you are trying to do, please provide more details.

Thanks!

I already did.

I want to do the 2 things that the plugin do. I need activate action 1 in homepage and categories page, show how much time takes to read each post. For this I have to copy the code:

<?php if (function_exists(‘wp_time_to_read’)) wp_time_to_read(); ?>

to homepage and categories. But the developer answer me this:

Hi,

1. Like I said above and also the developer told you that you have to edit each module where you want reading time to appear and place there your php code or shortcode – http://screencast.com/t/xDPvB0ua
Adding this code into the modules it should display reading time for your articles on pages, category pages every where there are used modules/blocks.
If you want reading date also on your post pages you have to edit loop single (for each post template) – http://screencast.com/t/W8kHujLb86s
2. Also the progress bar I guess that it must be activated from plugin’s settings.

Unfortunately we did not tested this plugin and if you don’t know how to implement it I suggest to hire a freelancer to do this for you as we cannot provide any type of custom work at this time, sorry!

Thanks!
