    Hello,

    in order to have a dynamic year in the footer, i added code in function.php :

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

    and i placed the short code “[year]” inside “Copyrights text” area, under theme settings >> Footer.

    But in the browser appears [year], not “the year”/2020

    instead of that, I tried to use another code:

    function currentYear(){
    return date(‘Y’);

    but in the footer text copyright don’t admit to using:
    <?php echo currentYear(); ?>

    It is a simple code and I have found in the forum that you also advise it, I don’t know why it doesn’t work, please, may you help me?

    Thank you so much.
    Best regards,

    Hello,

    Still I am not able to Install any plugin on your site, because your site is Multi-site and you provided only site user access not provided the Login details as an Admin for Multi-site, So please share the Admin Login details for Multi-site so that I’ll able to Install the WP File Manager plugin on your site and try to add the Code in your Theme Files.

    Best Regards.

    Hello,

    I have fixed the issue on your website and now the footer copyrights are working absolutely fine on my end. Please clear the cache and check back.

    Screenshot for Clarification: https://ibb.co/1LYqmnc

    I have added the following code in the child theme functions.php file and its working absolutely fine.

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

    Best Regards.
