Display estimated reading time in Elementor widgets. Lightweight, customizable, and easy to use.

== Description ==

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/lava-reading-time` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I change the words pre minutes? =
Sure, you can set words per minutes from 50 to 1000 (default 180).
