    Hello.

    I’m trying to make my website as light as possible. It is in Generatepress.
    For the footer section, I wish to have a dynamic year updated automatically.
    But, I want to have it without plugins.
    Is there any shortcodes I can use for this? I never have it in my mind to edit the theme editor.

    Really appreciate if someone comes in with the help.
    Thanks.

    Hi there,

    Are you editing the current copyright message at the moment? I’m not able to see the footer – it just scrolls me back to the top.

    Best way is to build a simple shortcode:

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

    Now you can use [year] to dynamically output the current year.

    Hello, Tom.
    Thanks for the theme.
    I apologize to reply this late.

    Right now I’m using this code, and it’s working last time I check.
    %copy% purnama carpentry – %current_year%
    I put it in the code section when I was customizing the footer.

    I willing to try the code you adviced, can you tell me where to put it?

    Thanks.

    I tried the codesnippets method, and it seems like it’s working just fine.
    I don’t see any errors occured, and I think it works well.

    Thanks for the clue, Leo.
    And huge appreciation for Tom, for providing the theme.

    GBU you all.
