Set current year in the custom copyright #4

Closed Alex-JTI closed 3 years ago

In the version 2.0 I used to have code <script type="text/javascript">document.write( new Date().getUTCFullYear() );</script> that worked like a charm to output current year in the copyright footer. With the version 2.1 it doesn't.

<?php echo date("Y"); ?> doesn't work either.

Can you suggest please how to archive it?

Hi,

This is due to new sanitization on the output of the footer code (for security reasons). The best way is using a date shortcode . You could use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/current-year-shortcode/

Or if you are using a child theme you can add your own shortcode like this:

add_shortcode( 'current_year', function() {
    return date( 'Y' );
} );

Then use [current_year] in your copyright text in the customizer.
