Using the Current Year in Your Posts
Do you ever wish you could insert the current year in some of your posts via a simple shortcode?
Add the snippet below to your functions.php file and you’ll be partying like it’s [year].
[code lang=”php”]
function year_shortcode() {
$year = date(‘Y’);
return $year;
}
add_shortcode(‘year’, ‘year_shortcode’);
[/code]
