Overview

🆕 New features: now you can add a background image and the link to your Privacy Policy page with a couple of clicks.

The Dynamic Year Block will automatically update the copyright year in your website footer. At the turn of each year, the number will automatically change to reflect the current year, freeing you from manually editing the year every new year’s eve.

The plugin works for both classic and block themes, but it is especially useful in the context of the Site Editor, where you can visually change the footer template part without messing with code. Just insert the Dynamic Year Block, enter your copyright notice and you’re done. 💪

You can open this WordPress Playground site in your browser to quickly test it.

Tiny but very handy
by Roman Perevala·11 months ago·1 reply

I’ve been using this plugin for a while now, and it’s been a real game-changer for adding copyright info to my footer.

And when it comes to fixing issues, the plugin author is super responsive. I’d give it 5 stars! This plugin is amazing! 🙂

Best regards,
Ramzesimus

Simple plugin that does what it’s supposed to, and nothing else.

The plugin does exactly what is says its going to do, without bloat, bragging, advertising etc.

Thanks for solving a problem that WordPress should have solved a long time ago!

Everything automated is quality time
by hebhansen·1 year ago·1 reply

Such a simple task now made so easy. I have messed with code over and over for a block theme multisite. All snippets I ever found are shortcode based. This baby adds a dynamic block to blocks. In editor, add it to your footer…. done. Not only that it allows for the pre-text and the post-text before and after, meaning the whole © line is one block and not one before a shortcode and another after … Best of all, it works across all sites on a multisite install. Thx so so so much. Love it!

Very Useful Indeed!

I love simple plugins that do what is written in the description. No fluff, no frill, it just add copyright to the block.

Thanks
Ronald

Elegant, well thought out, excellent
by dmatamales·1 year ago·1 reply

This plugin is excellent. It does what it says on the tin and then some. All the features you need, nothing you don’t. I used to use a shortcode for this but that doesn’t seem to work consistently anymore in the block editor. Plus, shortcodes in the block editor can be a confusing UX. This is much, much better.

I love it when a plugin implements something so well and so thoughtfully — I couldn’t have done it better myself. Thanks so much for your hard work on this, Márcio!
