    hey there,

    i want to add this function in enfold_childs function.php in order to estimate the needed time to read an article:

    /**
     * Estimate time required to read the article
     *
     * @return string
     */
    function bm_estimated_reading_time() {
    
    	$post = get_post();
    
    	$words = str_word_count( strip_tags( $post->post_content ) );
    	$minutes = floor( $words / 120 );
    	$seconds = floor( $words % 120 / ( 120 / 60 ) );
    
    	if ( 1 < = $minutes ) {
    		$estimated_time = $minutes . ' Minuten' . ($minutes == 1 ? '' : 's') . ', ' . $seconds . ' Sekunden' . ($seconds == 1 ? '' : 's');
    	} else {
    		$estimated_time = $seconds . ' Sekunden' . ($seconds == 1 ? '' : 's');
    	}
    
    	return $estimated_time;
    
    }

    But unfirtunately it breaks my site. Do you see the mistake? I really do not want to use a plugin, because most of them use the time for every page.

    Please help me – and maybe you can put it as a feature to the next release :-)

    Hi!

    We cannot debug the code for you as it is going to take much time you might have to hire a freelancer to do this job. however we can suggest to you to use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/estimated-post-reading-time/

    Best regards,
    Vinay
