More Info
The Estimated Read Time plugin for ClassicPress allows you to display expected reading times on your articles and summaries. The average person reads at 200 words per minute, so, that’s the default setting. You can change it with a simple filter to suit your own audience and content.

This plugin is multisite compatible; each site will need settings to be configured in the admin dashboard.

Installation
- Download the latest release of the plugin from GitHub.
- Upload the entire zip file using the Plugins upload function in your ClassicPress admin panel.
- Activate the plugin.
To provide the most versatile placement options, the estimated read time display is implemented with a shortcode that is designed to be placed in your theme template files. It may require some experimenting to find just the right templates for your particular theme, but you can try the content.php, single.php, archive.php, and page.php templates as a starting point.

Note that the shortcode is designed to work in templates that are in the loop, so you won’t be able to place the shortcode in, say, your header.php or footer.php files. See the examples below and place one or the other into your theme’s template file(s) where you would like the estimated read time to be displayed.

Example 1: Minimal template shortcode

<?php echo do_shortcode('[estimated-read-time words="'.str_word_count(strip_tags($post->post_content)).'"]'); ?>

Example 2: Template shortcode with dashicon

<?php echo do_shortcode('[estimated-read-time words="'.str_word_count(strip_tags($post->post_content)).'"]'); ?>

There is only a single setting, you can use this filter in a functionality plugin or functions.php file:
`
<?php
```
// Define reading speed of your audience. 200 WPM is average; adjust to suit.
add_filter('codepotent_estimated_read_time_speed', 'codepotent_estimated_read_time_speed');
function codepotent_estimated_read_time_speed($reading_speed) {
	return 125;
}
```
`

If you are using a theme that is a parent theme (as opposed to a child theme) you will need to be cautious about updating your theme because the update will overwrite all the theme files. To avoid this, you have several options, as follows. Options are listed in the order of preference.
1. use a child theme and add your shortcodes to your child theme’s templates, or
2. use a theme that you built yourself to avoid surprise updates, or
3. carefully copy your shortcodes out of your theme files before updating, then replacing them afterward, or
4. continue using the parent theme, but don’t update it.

More Info
Copy posts, pages, and custom post types with a single click. The #1 solution for quickly duplicating items, including the title, content, and excerpt, as well as taxonomy associations, metadata, custom fields, and comment and trackback settings.

Documentation is in the README.md file that you can also view on GitHub.
You may find helpful user-to-user support at the official ClassicPress support forums.
For issues or feature request GitHub is the right place.

Screenshots
1. Duplication Link Hovering any post, page, or custom post type item exposes a link to Duplicate the item.
2. Duplication Button Duplicating an item from the edit screen is also a one-click operation.
Reviews

“Carbon Copy makes it easy for clients to create posts that perfectly match the look of the rest of the site. This has saved me a lot of calls!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the plugin fully copy custom post type items?

Yes. The plugin works with all custom post types and the duplicate record contains the same taxonomy associations and metadata as the original.

Can I duplicate an item’s main fields, without the taxonomy and metadata?

No. A partial copy isn’t a carbon copy, after all.

How do I copy something?

Visit the admin page for the post, page, or custom post type that you want to copy. Hover any row and you will see a link to Duplicate the item. If you are currently editing an item, there’s also a Duplicate button available. In either place, you can use CTRL+click to open the newly created item in a new tab.

Where are the setting located?

There are no settings. The plugin is designed to just work.

What about short URLs – won’t duplication break something?

It would, yes. And that’s why, when you duplicate an item that supports permalinks, the newly created item will have a hyphen and a number appended to it. You can then change the permalink for the new item to whatever you like. And, if you happen to forget to change the permalink on the new item, at least it won’t break anything.
