Automatic year in the footer

That should work. Is there any error being output?

No, there is no output, nothing.

Hello elvis,

Try below code into your current active child theme’s functions.php file.


add_action( 'ct_chosen_footer_text', 'custom_footer_text' );
function custom_footer_text() {
return date('Y');
}


Hope this will helps you.

Thanks!

If the above code doesn’t help, could you share the code in your footer.php here?

The code doesn′t help.

Here fhe footer.php :

<?php do_action( 'main_bottom' ); ?>
</section> <!-- .main -->

<?php do_action( 'after_main' ); ?>

<footer id="site-footer" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo">
	<?php do_action( 'footer_top' ); ?>
	<div class="design-credit">
        <span>
            <?php
            $footer_text = sprintf( __( '<a href="%1$s">%2$s WordPress Theme</a> by Compete Themes.', 'chosen' ), 'https://www.competethemes.com/chosen/', wp_get_theme( get_template() ) );
            $footer_text = apply_filters( 'ct_chosen_footer_text', $footer_text );
            echo wp_kses_post( $footer_text );
            ?>
        </span>
	</div>
</footer>
</div>
</div><!-- .overflow-container -->

<?php do_action( 'body_bottom' ); ?>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</body>
</html>

Thanks!

I’m not sure where you’d like the date included, but adding it like this will work:

<?php do_action( 'main_bottom' ); ?>
</section> <!-- .main -->

<?php do_action( 'after_main' ); ?>

<footer id="site-footer" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo">
	<?php do_action( 'footer_top' ); ?>
	<div class="design-credit">
        <span>
            <?php 
            echo date("Y");
            $footer_text = sprintf( __( '<a href="%1$s">%2$s WordPress Theme</a> by Compete Themes.', 'chosen' ), 'https://www.competethemes.com/chosen/', wp_get_theme( get_template() ) );
            $footer_text = apply_filters( 'ct_chosen_footer_text', $footer_text );
            echo wp_kses_post( $footer_text );
            ?>
        </span>
	</div>
</footer>
</div>
</div><!-- .overflow-container -->

<?php do_action( 'body_bottom' ); ?>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</body>
</html>
