Thank you for using CoursePress. I checked with the development team and this was indeed changed. If a time is not set the time estimate is not displayed. If you set a time value it should appear on the front end.
Thank you for your reply. Do you think I could ask you as the author to get the default time back?
You know, if you have to upload 3000 tasks, it’ll take quite a lot of time to set the time every time.
As for me, it used to be better, you get 1 default minute and if you are not satisfied with the time, you can change it. A perfect system, I reckon.
Thank you for thinking it over.
Hi
I have tied to set the time, here is what I get
First,
I need to upload a text for 10 minute reading. The time is not a necessary thing in this task but the only option now as I understand.

I used to be estimated at 1 minute by default as it was completely fine because there was no timer and the could read it as long as they needed.
Now the time cannot be set up.
Second,
I need to add a module with an exercise the estimated time is 1 minute but time is not necessary because it’s not a text.

to set the duration I have to tick time, set the time, untick timer because it’s not needed.
In the end, the time is not shown, because the time is not on.
Third,
I set the time for a module – 1 minute, so the length of the Section (Exercise) is one minute now.

I add 2 more modules with the same settings and in the end I should get 3 minute duration.

Here is what I have:

Estimated time is not shown even with a ticked timer.
Some sections and modules do not need restrictions but at the same time it’s good to give estimated time which is impossible now if the timer is off.
If I add a video, it’s impossible to set the estimated time and the length of the video is not caculated in the whole duration of the Course.

Hello activeenglish,
I was able to see most of the issues you mention, except this one
I set the time for a module – 1 minute, so the length of the Section (Exercise) is one minute now.
I add 2 more modules with the same settings and in the end I should get 3 minute duration.
Estimated time for this setting showed correctly for me overview
Can you check if on another WordPress theme this will look the same?
For the rest I’m pinging developer to check why this works like that and if it is possible to change that.
kind regards,
Kasia
Kasia,
Thank you for all the work you’ve done to replicate the issue.
I’ll try to replicate the issue on another WP theme.
Kasia,
This is what I’ve got from the theme support:
In new version of coursepress, Coursepress have deprecated time estimation facility unit wise. So we have remove this facility from theme also.
I would like to say that in previous coursepress version, we are able to set time estimation per unit. But in newer coursepress pro version, there are only for few module type. This time estimation facility is removed from coursepress default theme also.
So there is no estimated time shown in the overview now, right?
Hello activeenglish,
So there is no estimated time shown in the overview now, right?
Not exactly, it should show times for questions like single choice, like in your course
So that statement:
This time estimation facility is removed from coursepress default theme also.
Is not true. Because default theme shows those times
so even time estimation was removed for some type of modules it wasn’t removed entirely from showing in overview. That theme developers might removed it basing on wrong information.
kind regards,
Kasia
