Read time on custom template

[Nelson]

I’m trying to use your read time function on a custom template (homepage loop) (<?php echo boss_estimated_reading_time( $post_content ); ?>).

At fist it was declaring 0 seconds for every post. Then I declared the following two variables global $post;
$post_content = $post->post_content; in the header, but now they are all saying 10 seconds.

Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Hi @stackstreetnew

global $post;
$post_content = $post->post_content;

You need to add these before using boss_estimated_reading_time
and If you need to change the calculation, You will need to define your own functions
boss_estimated_reading_time()
You can find this inside /onesocial/buddyboss-inc/theme-functions.php line 2639
