<p><strong>Idara Reading Time</strong> is a focused, single-purpose Gutenberg block that does one thing well: shows readers how long your post will take. It also offers an optional scroll progress bar — a thin bar pinned to the top or bottom of the page that fills as the visitor scrolls.</p>
<p><em>Idara (إدارة) is an Arabic word meaning “studio” or “administration” — the brand behind a growing family of carefully crafted, single-purpose Gutenberg blocks.</em></p>
<h4>Why this and not a full block suite?</h4>
<p>Most block plugins ship 30+ blocks you’ll never use, slowing your editor and your frontend. Idara plugins are deliberately small. This one is under 25 KB. CSS and JS load <strong>only on pages where the block is present</strong> — never globally.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Estimated reading time, calculated server-side from your post content</li>
<li>Display as a single value (“3 min read”) or a friendly range (“2–3 min read”)</li>
<li>Adjustable words-per-minute (50–600)</li>
<li>4 icon styles: clock, timer, hourglass, or none</li>
<li>Optional scroll progress bar with color, height, and position (top/bottom)</li>
<li>Hide on short posts (e.g. don’t show on anything under 2 minutes)</li>
<li>Custom prefix and suffix text</li>
<li>Inherits theme typography and text color via block supports</li>
<li>Full Site Editing (FSE) compatible — works inside block templates and template parts</li>
<li>Block toolbar shortcuts for icon cycling and range toggle</li>
<li>Semantic, accessible markup with ARIA labels</li>
<li>No tracking, no external requests, no third-party services</li>
<li>Translation-ready</li>
</ul>
<h4>Use cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Blog posts where readers want to gauge time investment</li>
<li>Long-form articles where the scroll progress bar improves engagement</li>
<li>Documentation sites</li>
<li>News and magazine layouts</li>
</ul>
<h3>Development</h3>
<p>Source code and build tools are available on GitHub:<br />

<p>The <code>src/</code> directory contains the unminified JavaScript (ES modules, JSX) and SCSS. Run <code>npm install && npm run build</code> to compile.</p>

<p>Enables bbPress for a full site editing WordPress block theme, fixing WSoD (White Screen of Death).</p>
<h4>What problem does it solve?</h4>
<p>❓ <em>Do you want to use bbPress plugin, but it does not display on your website?</em><br />
❓ <em>Do you see WSoD when visiting bbPress forum pages?</em><br />
❓ <em>Do you want to edit bbPress templates?</em><br />
❓ <em>Are you using a full site editing WordPress block theme?</em></p>
<p>If you answered yes to these questions, you’re in luck.</p>
<p><strong>Enable bbPress for Block Themes</strong> plugin fixes White Screen of Death for bbPress screens/views when you are using a WordPress block theme.</p>
<h4>What the plugin does not do?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Plugin <strong>does not provide CSS styles for bbPress</strong> to look good with your theme.
<p>Design is very specific thing to each theme. If you want to style your bbPress appearance, use <a href="https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/styles-overview/#applying-custom-css" rel="ugc">custom CSS code in Styles section of Site Editor</a>, or use other means, such as 3rd party plugins.</p>
<p>You may especially need to style form fields, buttons and pagination.</p>
</li>
<li>Plugin <strong>does not provide blocks</strong> to tweak bbPress views to your liking.
<p>bbPress plugin contains no blocks you can use to create custom forum layouts (as of February 2025).</p>
<p>However, in Site Editor you can edit “<strong>bbPress content</strong>” template. This template is used to display all bbPress content. (If you enable block editor for bbPress post types, you can further edit additional templates.)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Got a question or suggestion?</h4>
<p>In case of any question or suggestion regarding this plugin, feel free to ask at <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/enable-bbp-block-theme/" rel="ugc">support section</a>, or at <a href="https://github.com/webmandesign/enable-bbp-block-theme/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository issues</a>.</p>
