Adds a shortcode to display the current year or a year range, perfect for copyright statements.
As of April 2026, Current Year Shortcode is a WordPress date plugin with 70 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 567 times in total. Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+. Available on WordPress.org since 2025. Top alternative: WP Meta and Date Remover.
This is a plugin which adds a simple shortcode to display the current year or a dynamic year range, particularly useful for copyright statements at the bottom of your website.
Its most basic usage is [year], which will display the current year. If you provide a starting year with the ‘from’ parameter, it will expand into a date range when the ‘from’ year is before the current year.
If [year] is used by another plugin, then it uses the fallback [runthings_year] which can be customised with the runthings_current_year_shortcode_tag filter. You can see the active shortcode tag in it entry in the installed plugins page.
