Creating a shortcode with yoast

Hi there,

I believe this can help you in creating shortcodes.
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/creating-a-shortcode/

So for example:

add_shortcode( 'yoast_estimate_time', function() {
    ob_start();
    // Start your PHP below
  
    echo (string) YoastSEO()->meta->for_current_page()->estimated_reading_time_minutes, " minutes";
  
    // End your PHP above
    return ob_get_clean();
} );

Replacing (string) on the echo line with your text wrapping in ''

With this PHP snippet, you can use [yoast_estimate_time]. This is assumes the line you've provided is correct.

This is awesome

I understand everything apart from what I need to put in the (string)

Ah it's for making the output coming from YoastSEO().. into string characters.

You can keep it that way.

thank you! I will give that a try

No problem. Let us know how it goes. :D
