dynamic "year" in content header

i've previously added the following php into the snippets plugin:

function year_shortcode() {
$year = date('Y');
return $year;
}
add_shortcode('year', 'year_shortcode');

which allows me to use the shortcode [year] in my content for a dynamic year.

the only issue is if i put the [year] shortcode into my page title, it doesn't register.
is it possible to do something similar in a page title like i am doing for the content?

PS: for bonus points, can something similar be done for the seo title also? ;)

Hi there,

Try adding this PHP to your site:

add_filter( 'the_title', 'do_shortcode' );

I'm not sure if this will work for the SEO title, but it should work for your page titles.

Awesome, works in the page title.
thanks Tom

You're welcome :)
