Post information

Display reading time, word count, published date, and category on your blog posts.

Post Information displays useful metadata about your blog posts on your storefront, such as reading time, word count, published date, and category. This helps readers quickly understand what to expect from a post before they start reading.

Location in app: Sections > Post Information

Information items

Choose which metadata items to display on your blog posts. Each item can be toggled on or off independently.

Item	Description
Reading time	Shows how long the article takes to read (e.g., "5 min read"). Calculated automatically from the word count.
Word count	Indicates the article length.
Published date	Displays when the content was published.
Category	Shows the article's topic category.

By default, all four items are enabled.

Design styles

Choose from three layout styles:

Style	Description
Minimal Clean	Simple, clean layout with plain text and no borders. Best for minimalist designs.
Inline Meta	Items on a single line separated by dividers. Compact option for most themes.

The default is Minimal Clean. Changes are previewed in real time.
