Hi there,

Estimated reading time = 5 minutes

the issue is that

1) this is being duplicated
2) it is also bringing the PREV and NEXT links here

Both of this happened since the GP Premium update that was done today..

By default GP doesn't display all that Meta in that place.
So you must of added a PHP Snippet to display the meta ?

Yes, I had, but that was in my child theme.. See below code.. But something in the parent theme is overriding this and causing it to duplicate..

// Code to move cat/tags/comments to the top of the page - original deleted from post-meta.php

if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_post_meta' ) ) {
	add_action( 'generate_after_entry_title', 'generate_post_meta' , 'generate_after_entry_content', 'generate_footer_meta' );
	/**
	 * Build the post meta.
	 *
	 * @since 1.3.29
	 */
	function generate_post_meta() {
		if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
			<div class="entry-meta">
				<?php generate_posted_on(); ?>
			
				<?php
				generate_entry_meta();

				?>
			Estimated reading time = <?php echo reading_time(); ?>	
				
		<?php endif;
	}
}

// Code to show the next and previous post - original deleted from post-meta.php

if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_footer_meta' ) ) {
	add_action( 'generate_after_entry_content', 'generate_footer_meta' );
	/**
	 * Build the footer post meta.
	 *
	 * @since 1.3.30
	 */
	function generate_footer_meta() {
		if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
			<footer class="entry-meta">
				<?php
			

				if ( is_single() ) {
					generate_content_nav( 'nav-below' );
				}
				?>
				
				
				
			</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
		<?php endif;
	}
}

Instead of that code, try this:

add_action( 'generate_post_meta_items', function( $item ) {
    if ( 'reading-time' === $item ) {
        echo 'Estimated reading time = ' . reading_time();
    }
} );

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function() {
    return array(
        'date',
        'author',
        'categories',
        'tags',
        'comments-link',
        'reading-time',
    );
} );

add_filter( 'generate_footer_entry_meta_items', function() {
    return array(
        'post-navigation',
    );
} );

Hi Tom, it gave an error - something unexpected ' in line 63.. But when I copied the old post-meta.php file info into the new update, it worked fine..

That's not a great idea - it will likely result in more breakages, especially with future versions.

What was the exact error?

Ooops, can you let me have the latest post-meta.php file info, i can try replacing that and let you know the error..

This is the 3.0.0 post-meta.php file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomusborne/generatepress/3.0.0/inc/structure/post-meta.php

This link (https://www.shippingandfreightresource.com/wp-content/uploads/GPerror-after-update.png) is the error after GP Premium updates..

This link (https://www.shippingandfreightresource.com/wp-content/uploads/GPerror-after-using-code.png) is the error after I use below code given by you

Instead of that code, try this:

add_action( 'generate_post_meta_items', function( $item ) {
if ( 'reading-time' === $item ) {
echo 'Estimated reading time = ' . reading_time();
}
} );

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function() {
'date',
'author',
'categories',
'tags',
'comments-link',
'reading-time',
} );

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function() {
return array(
'post-navigation',
);
} );

Pls advise, thanks..

Aha, can you try the updated code?: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/prev-next-posts/#post-1477279

Hi Tom the site is now giving error after all these updates..

There has been a critical error on your website.

The code itself should be fine. Is there a specific error?

Is reading_time() a function you've added to your functions?

Hi, this is sorted now, thanks..
