[Resolved] Help with function

[epickenyan]

Hi Tom. I want to show this <div class="reading-time">Time To Read: <?php echo reading_time(); ?><div> next to the byline on single posts (and then float it right with CSS). Would you kindly help me with a function to do that? I want them to appear on a straight line because using the element after entry title does not help and I had to adjust the top margin using CSS which looks out of line on minimal devices.

Here is the reading time function.

function reading_time() {
    $content = get_post_field( 'post_content', $post->ID );
    $word_count = str_word_count( strip_tags( $content ) );
    $readingtime = ceil($word_count / 250);

    if ($readingtime == 1) {
      $timer = " minute";
    } else {
      $timer = " minutes";
    }
    $totalreadingtime = $readingtime . $timer;

    return $totalreadingtime;

Hi there,

try this CSS:

.single-post .inside-article .entry-meta, .single-post .reading-time {
    display: inline-flex;
}
.single .byline {
    margin-left: 0.5em;
}

Then in your .reading-time CSS you can remove the float and add a margin-top: 0.5em;

Hi. That inline-flex code is making my category, tags and navigation meta below posts to be broken. How to target only the meta at the top of the post?

Solved footer.entry-meta {display:inline-block!important;}
