    Hello I added this code in php following this post : https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/reading-time-code-to-add-to-entry-meta/

    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 $time . ' min';
    }
    add_shortcode('reading-time', 'tu_estimated_reading_time');

    Then I added a short code with this code
    <?php echo '<div class="read-time">.'<span>'Temps de lecture </span> '( '[reading-time]' ) . '</div>'; ?>

    But it does not work when I remove the quotes I lose the reading time (4min => 1 min) How to do please ?

    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 πŸ™‚ I didn’t know that!

    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?

    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');

    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?”

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