 * Hello,
 * Great plugin to start with.
 * Works fine for posts. In the preview (excerpt) however, the tag is displayed 
   3 times !
    1. above the feature image 2. above the content 3. first line of the
   content.
 * If I disable in the settings for excerpts, nothing happens and the tag is still
   there. When disabling for the content, the tag is dropped from the excerpt & 
   content.
 * I had a look at the code but I couldn’t spot an error. I want the tag to be displayed
   only one for excerpts.
 * Any idea ?
 * Thanks.
 * Didier.

 * Hmm. If disabling for the excerpt isn’t doing anything and it is displaying multiple
   times that makes me think your theme is probably using `the_content` filter multiple
   times.
 * What is the theme you’re using?

 * Hi Jason,
 * Using “Taylor” theme from templatemonster. I know that the plugin is adding the
   extra line in the content subject everywhere. But the excerpt seems fine to me.
   Will have a deeper look into this.
 * Your plugin is compatible with version 4.7 or 4.8 ? Does it work for you ?
 * Anyway, this is a problem that the content itself is modified. When you share
   for example to LinkedIn, the reading time gets shared too as part of the article.
   Not great.
 * I think that I will use your plugin for the admin settings, css etc., but call
   the display code only for posts without modifying the content itself. Seems a
   more correct way to code this thing !
 * Seems that another user was having the same problem of having the plugin displaying
   everywhere.
 * But big thanks for the development of this plugin !
 * Thanks.
 * Didier.
