In WordPress, if you want to display the current year dynamically, you can use the following shortcode in your posts, pages, or widgets:
[year]
To implement this shortcode, you can add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or use a custom plugin:
function current_year_shortcode() {
$year = date(‘Y’);
return $year;
}
add_shortcode(‘year’, ‘current_year_shortcode’);
$year = date(‘Y’);
return $year;
}
add_shortcode(‘year’, ‘current_year_shortcode’);
This code defines a shortcode [year] that will display the current year when used in a post or page. After adding this code, you can use the [year] shortcode wherever you want to display the current year on your WordPress site.
