Solution:
Unfortunately, I wouldn't be the best person to assist you with integrating this code as it would be out of the scope what we can provide as support.
What I do recommend is that you can contact on of our registered contractors in order to get this one done for you. https://toolset.com/contractors/
Problem: I would like to use a PHP function that counts the number of characters in custom fields, then use that number to calculate an estimated reading time. I'm using this post as a template: https://birchtree.me/blog/reading-time-wp-php/
Solution:
You can use the types_render_field function in PHP to generate the HTML markup for each field, and add that to the content string like so:
function reading_time() {
$content = get_post_field( 'post_content', $post->ID );
$content .= types_render_field('field_slug', array( "id"=>$post->ID) );
$content .= types_render_field('other_field_slug', array( "id"=>$post->ID) ); // copy and paste this line as needed for additional fields
$word_count = str_word_count( strip_tags( $content ) );
... code continues ...
If the HTML applied to each field should be stripped, use the get_post_meta function instead:
function reading_time() {
$content = get_post_field( 'post_content', $post->ID );
$content .= get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-field_slug', true );
$content .= get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-other_field_slug', true ); // copy and paste this line as needed for additional fields
$word_count = str_word_count( strip_tags( $content ) );
... code continues ...
I have two post types, State and City. We have a top Page, then a child of State, then a child of City.
Could you help me figure out how to get the "Parent" option to show the correct items? When I edit a State, "Parent" should show all Pages. Then, when I edit City, "Parent" should show all States.
Currently, it is only showing its own CPT.
Solution:
I suggest you setup the post type "State" as parent post type of "City", then when you edit a single "City" post, you will be able to setup it's parent "State" post, see our document:
