## Opis

Drops a small “X min read” line above each post on your site. Same little badge 
Medium uses and most blogs use.

The plugin counts the words, divides by reading speed, prepends the badge above 
the content. That is the whole thing. No tracking, no upsells, no third-party scripts.

What you can change from Settings, Optic Read-O-Meter:

 * Words per minute (default 200, the global newspaper average).
 * Style: pill, minimal, dark, outline, or none.
 * Icon: clock, coffee, book, or none.
 * Colors via the WordPress color picker, plus seven one-click palettes (Emerald,
   Sky, Rose, Amber, Violet, Slate, Dark).
 * Position above, below, or both.
 * Separate singular and plural templates, one for “1 minute read” and one for “
   5 minutes read”.
 * Optional image time. Each image adds 12 seconds by default, the same convention
   Medium uses.
 * Minimum word count to skip the badge on short posts.
 * Which post types get the auto-prepended badge.

Per post, an editor sidebar lets you hide the badge for a specific post or set a
manual minute count.

A Reading Time Gutenberg block ships with the plugin. Drop it anywhere in the block
editor and pick “Styled badge” or “Plain text” from the sidebar. There is also a
shortcode for non-block contexts: `[optrom_reading_time]`, `[optrom_reading_time
format="badge"]`, or `[optrom_reading_time template="About %s"]`.

Performance: word and image counts are cached in post meta on save. After that, 
rendering reads one integer. No external HTTP, no analytics.

For developers, two filters: `optrom_words_per_minute` to override the WPM per post,
and `optrom_label` to replace the entire label string.

The plugin cleans up after itself. Option and post meta are deleted on uninstall.

## Blokovi

Ovaj dodatak omogućava 1 blok.

 *   Reading Time Estimated reading time for the current post. Styled badge or plain
   text.

## Instalacija

 1. Upload the `optic-read-o-meter` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install from
    Plugins, Add New.
 2. Activate.
 3. Visit Settings, Optic Read-O-Meter to configure.

## ČPP

### Can I change the reading speed?

Yes. Set it on the settings page, or hook the `optrom_words_per_minute` filter for
per-post control.

### Does it work on pages or custom post types?

Yes. Tick the post types you want on the settings page. The default is posts only.
The block and shortcode work everywhere regardless.

### Can I hide the badge on a single post?

Yes. Each supported post type has a Reading Time meta box on the editor with a hide
toggle and a manual minutes override.

### My posts have lots of images. Are they counted?

Off by default. Tick “Count images” on the settings page if you want each image 
to add a few seconds to the estimate (12 by default, same as Medium).

### Does it support non-Latin scripts?

Yes. `str_word_count` covers most Latin scripts. For CJK and similar, the plugin
falls back to a Unicode-aware split.

### Does it track visitors?

No. No tracking, no analytics, no external requests.
