[Resolved] Make shortcode (year) work in an GP Element

[scometamus]

Dear GP-team,

I used this code in the functions.php to make the “year shortcode” work in an individual html block:

/* Add shortcode for year */
function year_shortcode () {
$year = date_i18n ('Y');
return $year;
}
add_shortcode ('year', 'year_shortcode');

This works perfect. But as soon as I add the code [year] to my element hook, it does not get translated to the current year; so doesn’t work.

Is there a solution to this?

Hi there,

it’s better to use a block element – site footer, you don’t need a custom function for the year, you can use GP’s built-in template tag {{current_year}} in the site footer element.

Fantastic! Best theme/plugins, best support. Thanks!

Glad to hear that 🙂
