Shortcode [year] doesn't work in Footer Copyrights text area

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,

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.

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.
