Beskrywing

This plugins allows you to keep the Copyright year of the website always updated by getting the current year and storing it in the shortcode [current_year].

There are three variations of this plugin’s shortcode

[current_year] – This shortcode displays the current year. Assuming that the current year is 2015 then the shortcode will display “2015” (without quotes) wherever it is used.

[current_year_with_copyright_symbol] – This shortcode displays the current year with the copyright symbol to its left. Assuming the current year to be 2015 the shorcode will display “© 2015” (without quotes) wherever it is used.

[current_year_with_copyright_symbol_and_title] – This shortcode displays the current year with the copyright symbol and site title to its left. Assuming the current year to be 2015 the shorcode will display “Site Title © 2015” (without quotes) wherever it is used.

Aanbevelings

Please display in inline-block

When you use any of the shortcodes, it gives the year in a div, which is a display-ed as a block, so it is in separate line. 🙁 It would be better in a block with display: inline-block CSS property. Nice idea, please fix it!

Doesn’t work properly

When you use any of the shortcodes it sets the code on separate lines, so you cannot use current year within any text as it applies line breaks. Secondly, instead of displaying the copyright symbol, it displays the word &copy which is almost the code for the copyright symbol but not quite…! Nice idea, poorly implemented

Thanks!

Great replacement for the Automatic Copyright Year plugin, which seems to have been abandoned 🙁 However, it interfered with the footer widget text styling (which the Automatic Copyright Year widget did not), and I had a deuce of a time figuring out how to correct it. In the end, I styled div.dcywrapper in Additional CSS for the shortcode output, then had to manually style the line below it (all rights reserved) as a separate span in the HTML widget. Ergo, 4 stars instead of 5. But still, thanks for helping me resist the temptation to run an unmaintained plugin because there is no replacement 🙂 Don’t know why WordPress doesn’t just add an automatic copyright shortcode to the built-in WordPress shortcodes. It’s something everyone needs, and would make it harder for hackers to identify neglected sites.
