This plugin seems not to work anymore.

I am on the latest craft version and the |readTime(false) filter send back a TimeModel with 0 minutes and 0 seconds anytime.

I tried it on the entry (a blogentry with a matrix field).
And I tried it to use with the matrix field itself (wich holds a redactor field).
I did even try to use it directly on the matrix block itself (not on the array of blocks)

Nothing worked sadly :(.

Having the same issue, read time returns 0 on all matrix fields regardless of if it has blocks or not.

I'm having no joy with the plugin either (Version 1.6.0 for Craft 3.8x).

{{ readTime(entry) }} returns 1 every time (even when changing read time setting to 5 wpm).

{{ readTime(entry.contentBuilder.all()) }} gives an exception: 'PHP Warning – strip_tags() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given'

A client requested a read time feature just this morning, was hoping for a quick solution!

@BrandKits This plugin seems to be abandoned as we're still having issues 2 years later.

If your on Craft 4, we've moved to https://plugins.craftcms.com/reading-time?craft4

Working on reproducing it on my end and getting a proper fix in place... Thanks for your patience!

@jalendport I would completely understand why you wouldn't want to spend time fixing an inherited plugin's old Craft 3 code when you have Craft 4 code working. But appreciate the effort, as I'd like to roll this out for my client. Thanks.

@BrandKits well, I'm honestly not entirely sure this is not an issue for Craft 4 as well; I basically just made the code Craft 4 ready, so any bugs are probably still there. However, it seems this issue only affects a subset of the plugin's users, because there are people I know using it on both Craft 3 and 4 that haven't had problems (though it could be something as simple as they don't have matrix fields in the mix and I know at least the issue creator, Michael, does).
