Title: Time Estimation Last modified: March 13, 2017 --- # Time Estimation * Resolved [activeenglish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/activeenglish/) * (@activeenglish) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-estimation/) * Hello, * If I am not mistaken, if you leave this box unticked and you can’t change the Duration, there will be time estimation by default – 1 minute. Before the updates, it used to be estimated like this and them showed calculated time. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/mSVnfA3) * However, in Course Structure I see this: * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/FqFsOHa) * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/xygndIL) * Where did I go wrong?

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. * Thread Starter [activeenglish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/activeenglish/) * (@activeenglish) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-estimation/#post-8930894) * 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. * Thread Starter [activeenglish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/activeenglish/) * (@activeenglish) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-estimation/#post-8931008) * 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. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/oglXt41) * 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. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/ZxmGlT5) * 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. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/j9jTHFz) * I add 2 more modules with the same settings and in the end I should get 3 minute duration. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/MlgEOpF) * Here is what I have: * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/reEWKYk) * 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. * Thread Starter [activeenglish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/activeenglish/) * (@activeenglish) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-estimation/#post-8931035) * 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. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/dOtGSrw) * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/RPtPQQE) * Plugin Support [Amin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support2/) * (@wpmudev-support2) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-estimation/#post-8946401) * 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 * Thread Starter [activeenglish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/activeenglish/) * (@activeenglish) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-estimation/#post-8946925) * 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. * Thread Starter [activeenglish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/activeenglish/) * (@activeenglish) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-estimation/#post-8947105) * Kasia, * This is what I’ve got from the theme support: * > In new version of coursepress, Coursepress have deprecated time estimation > facility unit wise.

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 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Time Estimation’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/coursepress_f7e9b6.svg) * [CoursePress Learning Management System](https://wordpress.org/plugins/coursepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/coursepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coursepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coursepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coursepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/coursepress/reviews/) * 8 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Amin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support2/) * Last activity: [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-estimation/#post-8956848) * Status: resolved
