Every attribute, styling hook and answer for the blocks that are shipping. Each plugin is a single block — there is no settings screen in wp-admin, everything lives in the block sidebar.

Good to know

  • Reading time is calculated server-side on every render, so it stays correct after you edit a post — there is no cached value to invalidate.
  • Block markup, shortcodes and HTML are stripped before the word count runs. The minimum displayed value is 1 minute.
  1. In wp-admin go to Plugins → Add New, search for Idara Reading Time, then install and activate. Or download it from WordPress.org.
  2. Edit a post or template and add the block — search the inserter for Reading Time.
  3. Configure it in the block sidebar. There is no separate settings screen; every option is an attribute on the block.
