# Add shortcode to description

 * I would like to add a shortcode in my description invoice. 
   I created a simple
   shortcode to display the current date :
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function display_current_date() {    
       return date('jS F Y');
       }
   
       add_shortcode('current_date', 'display_current_date');  
       ```
   
 * It works on pages but not on the invoice description, when I load the page I 
   only have the name of the shortcode who is displayed : [current_date]
 * There is some way to add a date dynamically ? I want to write a sentence like
   this :
 * “Your invoice for [October] : “
 * Thanks for your help
