## Skildring

Advanced Reading Progress & View Counter adds a customizable reading progress indicator
and an intelligent post view counter to your WordPress website.

Improve reader engagement with visual reading progress tracking and monitor content
popularity with built-in anti-refresh view counting.

#### Key Features

 * Reading progress indicator with bar and radial display modes.
 * Custom colors, thickness, and position controls.
 * Select which post types display the indicator.
 * Post view counter with anti-refresh protection.
 * Configurable prefix, suffix, colors, and placement.
 * Shortcode support for manual placement.
 * Lightweight and performance-friendly.
 * No external services required.

#### Shortcodes

 * `[arpvc_view_counter]`
 * `[arpvc_read_count]` (alias)
 * `[arpvc_view_counter post_id="123"]`
 * `[arpvc_view_counter prefix="Views:" suffix="total"]`
 * `[arpvc_view_counter show_zero="0"]`

#### Notes

 * If badge position is set to `Shortcode only`, the badge is rendered only where
   shortcode is used.
 * Anti-refresh lock logic still applies to counting unless lock window is set to`
   0`.

### Development & Source Code

## Vanlege spm.

### How does «Lock window (hours)» work?

It is a cooldown per visitor per post.

 * Example: if set to `24`, the same visitor adds at most one view to that post 
   every 24 hours.
 * Repeated refreshes inside the window do not increase the count.

### Can I disable the lock window?

Yes. Set `Lock window (hours)` to `0` to disable lock-based deduplication.

### How do I place the view counter manually?

Set badge position to `Shortcode only`, then place `[arpvc_view_counter]` where 
needed.

### Does this plugin count bot traffic?

The plugin includes basic request filtering to skip obvious bot-like user agents
and non-standard request contexts.

### Can I show the counter on a specific post from another page?

Yes, use:

    ```
    [arpvc_view_counter post_id="123"]
    ```
