What's going wrong
Site owners using the Read Meter plugin report that reading time does not appear in several places where they list posts. Examples include the home page blog list, the related posts section of a theme, and Elementor loop grids where owners want the time as meta information. Some can only show it by adding the shortcode inside a template, which then creates a duplicate on each post, or they need to pass a post identifier that the shortcode does not accept. Owners who build magazine home pages and post grids want the time to show in each listed item. The gap is that the plugin's display logic applies mainly to the main article view, which a more flexible listing module could handle.
