Hi @Massimo I just tested my project with the new Elements 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 betas and found a display issue with your ReadTime component. It is now displaying an additional button box on the right side. This is new with Elements 3.0.x and it’s Tailwind 4 CSS. May be you will find time to take a look and fix this before the final release of Elements 3. Thanks. ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-07-15 um 09.23.13](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/4/24e78553a1a7036800f01741f7684fec2a608fa0.png) ---

Hi, I’m sorry, but I’m on vacation abroad all through July. I’ll try to take a look when I get back in August. ---

Hi @Massimo Enjoy your vacation! To help you I tracked it down to the following code (wondered from the very beginning, why you did place this code into the component, as it bloats the CSS file by loading all CSS classses). ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-07-15 um 16.38.29](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/1/217b8e8c90be2cfefefce6c610eaa8664284eada.png) ---

Hi @Massimo Hope you are well back from vacation. Did you by chance had a look into it? The fix shouldn’t be that complicated, it is just to remove the DIV shown above from your code. Actually I do that manually in the index.php after publishing all the time, but that’s cumbersome. An update will be greatly appreciated. ---

Hi @Massimo Hope you are well! Did not see any activity from you here since more than a month. I am concerned something could have happened to you during vacation in July. I understand, if you have more urgent things to do. That sometimes happens, but pls. send a sign, that you are still there and healthy. Kai-Uwe ---

Hi, thanks for your message. I apologize for the delay; I’ve been on a long break from work. Currently, I am holding off on updating my components because Elements 3 is not yet an official release. Pushing an update now would break compatibility for users on the current stable version of Elements. My components will be updated to TW4 once Elements 3 is officially released. Thanks for understanding. ---

Hi @Massimo Glad to see, that you are well. I understand your position regarding Elements 3 and will wait until the official release. ---

Hi @Massimo Sorry to be nasty with this, but this problem which is requiring a small fix (one-liner) is starting to really annoy me. Elements 3 is out of beta since 3.0.14 published on Sep 15th. I would really appreciate this one to get fixed now. I beg for your understanding, I struggle with this problem since July 15th now. Thanks
