For example, if you want to display today’s or the current year, just use the shortcode [year]. When you publish/update the post or page, [year] will be replaced by the current year. It’s that easy.

By default, it will show the date like this: 2024

Similarly use the shortcodes [month] and [date] to replace your content with current month and today’s date, respectively.

  • [year] shortcode will show the year name like this: 2024
  • [month] will show the month name like this: July
  • [date] will show current date like this: July 18, 2024
