year meta

Hello Frederic,

Thanks for reaching out.

Starting in v7.7 of Yoast SEO, we’ve deprecated the %%currentyear%% variable (along with some others) as we see no valid use-case for them, as you have rightly mentioned.

That being said, you or your developer can use the wpseo_register_extra_replacements filter to create your own custom variables.

An example code snippet can be found here:

Typically code snippets are added to your theme’s functions.php file. If you’re not familiar with using code snippets, these articles have wonderful advice:

great
thanks for quick reply and PHP solution

If i may, i think it s a mistake to kill those meta as it is part of fashion e-commerce SEO strategy and other sector
