Place this code in your theme’s functions.php file to address that pesky problem of copyright dates in the footer not having the current year displayed!!
/* shortcode for the current year */
function year_shortcode() {
$year = date('Y');
return $year;
}
add_shortcode('year', 'year_shortcode');
So your copyright date in your theme’s footer might look something like this…
Usage:
Copyright © [year] Company Name, Inc.
Displays:
Copyright © 2014 Company Name, Inc.
