Reading time (in metabox) is always 1 min
-
Hi,
All of my posts’ reading time metabox is set to 1 min (even very long posts). My site is in a language different than English.
I saw this recent thread but couldn’t quite find out how to fix it.
Anyone could help to point the solution?
Thanks

Just in case this post will show up while someone will search for the same problem – I’ve found a solution.
Using the code that is here:
https://github.com/oceanwp/oceanwp/blob/690f380e72083b4735e4d71c65403303031ec6d7/inc/helpers.php#L3153and the tip that is here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23015600/str-word-count-for-non-latin-words/23015645#23015645I’ve copied the code from the first link, and changed –
str_word_count( strip_tags( $content ) );
with
count(preg_split(‘/\s+/’, $content));Problem solved.
Edit:
Obviously, in case of a language different from English, you should estimate what’s the average of words that are read in a minute, and change calculation if necessary.
