Hello,

To display the dynamic year in footer you can use the below code in function.php :

function year_shortcode() {
  $year = date('Y');
  return $year;
}
add_shortcode('year', 'year_shortcode');

After placing the above code you have to use this short code “[year]” inside “Copyrights text” area, under theme settings >> Footer.

I have tested this code on my test site and it works just perfectly fine on my test site.

Best Regards.
