Hi Support Team,

I’m currently using the Newspaper theme and wanted to check if the theme has the following features available:

  • Estimated Read Time – Is there a built-in option to display the estimated read time for an article on the frontend (e.g., “5 min read”)?
  • Reading Progress Bar – Does the theme include a reading progress bar that can be enabled from the theme settings, showing users how far they’ve scrolled through an article?

If these features exist, could you please guide me on how to enable them? If not, are there recommended ways or plugins that are compatible with the theme to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Vimal

Hi Vimal,

Yes, our them have those features you can add theme on single post template, go to a post and click on edit with tagDiv Composer – https://i.imgur.com/3tJy9LB.png then search for progress bar – https://i.imgur.com/aYgIgD7.png – https://i.imgur.com/01JaWdL.png and reading time -> https://i.imgur.com/QdAgj4k.png – https://i.imgur.com/d0QW8eH.png

Hello team,

Thank you so much for the quick response and for sharing the helpful screenshots. That’s exactly what I needed!

I’ll go ahead and try adding the reading time and progress bar using the tagDiv Composer as you suggested.

Appreciate your support!

Best regards,
Vimal
