Add reading time code

I just came to the the forum to add my own issue :)

Just with this, Yoast has this automatically - would recommend exploring it!

Hi Alexis,

Where and how did you add this?
<?php echo '<div class="read-time">.'<span>'Temps de lecture </span> '( '[reading-time]' ) . '</div>'; ?>

Hi Will,

Thanks for the information :) I didn't know that!

I added this in the block gutemberg shortcode

Hi Alexis,

If it's a Shortcode Block, the shortcode should just be [reading-time]

Can you take a screenshot of how you added it?

I add this <?php echo do_shortcode("[reading-time]"); ?> but it does not work

Can you try adding just this: [reading-time] in a Shortcode Block?

Ok it's ok thanks but how to add html markup + text reading time

Alter the code you have to this:

function tu_estimated_reading_time() {
    $post = get_post();
    $content = $post->post_content;
    $wpm = 250; // How many words per minute.

    $clean_content = strip_shortcodes( $content );
    $clean_content = strip_tags( $clean_content );
    $word_count = str_word_count( $clean_content );
    $time = ceil( $word_count / $wpm );

    return '<div class="read-time"><span>Temps de lecture </span>' . $time . ' min</div>';
}
add_shortcode('reading-time', 'tu_estimated_reading_time');

Thanks perfect, you are the best 😉

You're welcome Alexis! :)

Sorry another question I want to display the reading time in my pages displayed at the bottom. Except that I need to retrieve the time according to source. Is it possible to do that? if yes how?

You can see the example at the bottom of my page: "How does a search engine work?"

For reference, can you re-share the link to the site in question?

I add in private

Will you be using a Query Loop Block or will you be adding the "For Further" section posts manually as you are now?
