Estimated Read Time in Author box

Hi there,

you can use this PHP Snippet:

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');

This will create the following shortcode that you can add to your element:

[reading-time]

Clear, thank you!

Glad to be of help
