                              Yes! You can choose exactly which post types to display the reading progress on from the settings page. Enable it for posts, pages, custom post types, or any combination you prefer.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                              Can I disable the celebration popup?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                              Yes! There's a checkbox in settings to enable\/disable the celebration popup. All other features will continue to work normally even if the popup is disabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                              How is reading time calculated?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                              Reading time is calculated based on Words Per Minute (WPM). The default is 200 WPM (average adult reading speed), but you can adjust it in settings to match your audience. The plugin also accounts for images (approximately 10 seconds per image).<\/p><\/dd>\n

                              What is the \"Shukriya\" celebration popup?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                              \"Shukriya\" (\u09b6\u09c1\u0995\u09b0\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09be) means \"Thank You\" in Bengali\/Urdu. It's a beautiful reward popup that appears when readers finish your article, thanking them with personalized messages and delightful confetti animation! It makes readers feel valued and encourages them to return.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                              How does mood detection work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                              ReadJoy analyzes your content for emotional keywords and context. It then displays appropriate celebration messages:\n- Happy\/positive content \u2192 Cheerful celebration\n- Sad\/touching content \u2192 Empathetic message\n- Neutral content \u2192 Appreciative thank you<\/p>\n\n

                              This creates a more personalized and meaningful experience for your readers.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                              Can I translate the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                              Yes! The plugin is translation-ready and fully internationalized. It currently has built-in support for English and Bengali, with more languages coming soon. You can also create your own translation using standard WordPress translation tools.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                              Does it track user data?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                              No! ReadJoy is 100% privacy-friendly. It doesn't collect, store, or transmit any personal data. It doesn't use cookies, connect to external services, or track users. Your readers' privacy is completely protected.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                              Can I hide the reading time but keep the progress bar?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                              Yes! All features can be controlled independently. You can enable\/disable:\n- Progress bar\n- Reading time display\n- Progress percentage\n- Estimated finish time\n- Celebration popup<\/p>\n\n

                              Is there a pro version?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
