[Resolved] GP Hooks Code for Copyright Current Year

[Mary Pearson]

I’m having to use GP Hooks for content that appears below the Generate Press Copyright position. For that reason I need to enter the copyright info in another hook that is closer to the bottom of the page.

When I enter Copyright %current_year% in the Hooks it shows up exactly as I’ve entered it. Is there a code that I can use in the GP Hooks to add the copyright with current year in a hook which is at the very bottom.

Thanks Tom!

Hi Mary,

Try this:

<?php echo date('Y'); ?>

And make sure “Execute PHP” is checked.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your terrific add-on for the copyright area in the footer. My client wants to add her site map and Blog link in the “black bar” area as well.

I think I read something about being able to do this with shortcodes and HTML but now I can’t find the instructions for that. I have read the knowledge base and will try to add shortcodes for the links but I’m not a WordPress guru.

If you could send me a link to the instructions, it would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice day.

PERFECT!!!!! Many, many thanks again Tom!

You can use HTML in the Copyright area to build links like this:

<a href="http://google.com">Link to Google</a>

I’m trying to add an internal page link to the copyright area, ie: privacy policy page
Using your method above

a href=”http://google.com”>Link to Google

I’m getting this output link: https://www.mywebsite.com/”http://google.com/”
which of course produces Page not found page.

What is the correct html code to use for linking to an internal page?

I got it to work using index.php?page=## but couldn’t add the target _blank bit to open in new window or tab.

Hints?

Hi Mike,

This should be the correct HTML you are looking for:
<a href="https://PRIVACY-PAGE-LINK-HERE" target="_blank">Privacy</a>

If you need additional assistance, can you open a new topic? Thanks 🙂

Sorry, but that code doesn’t work. I got it to work using:

%copy% %current_year% (My Website Name), ALL RIGHTS RESERVED<br>%current_year% <a href=\"index.php?p=246\" target=\"_blank\"> Privacy Policy</a>

Glad you got it working 🙂
