What short code do I use for the current year?

[Neeznoodle]

Hello,

I am using the Mocha theme want to add short code to some of my posts that displays the current year, so that the year will automatically update on January 1st of the next year.

I know that there is the footer short code of [footer_copyright], but that also shows the copyright symbol. What short code can I use that is just the current year?

Thank you

You can use the following in functions.php to create such a shortcode:

//* Add shortcode for the current year
function year_shortcode() {
	$year = date('Y');
	return $year;
}

add_shortcode('year', 'year_shortcode');

You should then be able to use [year] in your posts to output the date.
