copyright icon custom footer with elements

Hi Victor,

You can just paste the symbol as a symbol:
©{{current_year}}

Hi Ying,

There is no way to insert a code like in the footer of Customize, Design, Copyright.

Your suggestion works perfectly https://prnt.sc/17b2w4p

I just thought there was a way to do it another way.

Thanks,

Great!

You are welcome :)

Sorry to reopen this.
I want to add current year to an elements footer too, but don't know how to make {{current_year}} work ?
Is something else required for this to work ?
Tried Headline and Paragraph and code and html !
TIA, Dave

Hi there,

currently you need a shortcode for that.
Add this PHP Snippet to your site:

add_shortcode( 'current_year', 'lh_current_year' );
function lh_current_year() {
    ob_start();
    echo date('Y');
    return ob_get_clean();
}

And then you can use [current_year]

Thanks David,
That is fine, I guess I was more interested in what the {{current_year}} was all about ?
Looks like template code, I thought maybe it was relying on Twig or something similar

TIA, Dave

Yeah its a template tag that was specifically coded into the footer copyright.
