Copyright Date in Footer – used php code but date now appends old date

Found the relevant php code to put in the footer.php.

There’s no need for you to edit any php files. That text on the footer can be edited on Frontier Options -> Display -> Footer Text

Hi Ronangelo,

Firstly, sorry, I should not be messing with the php files and don’t know how I missed the footer text box in the Display tab of the Frontier Options.

Another person on the forum asked the same question and I got attracted to the idea of automatic year update, when it’s no big deal to change year manually as above.

I changed the date accordingly, but still have the repeating year. Since I didn’t make copy of footer.php before modifying it, may I ask you to look over what I need to correct it to its former glory.

What I did was remove reference to Year (twice) after .’&copy’ and inserted: <?php echo date(‘Y’); ?>.

Here is the div id “bottom bar” section that I changed:

<?php if ( frontier_option('bottom_bar_text', get_bloginfo('name') . ' ? ' ) ) : ?>

<span id="bottom-bar-text"><?php echo frontier_option('bottom_bar_text', get_bloginfo('name') . ' ? ' ); ?><?php echo date('Y'); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>

Thank you, and secondly,
