Hi,
I wish to add the dynamic year in footer section. i.e.

© 2016 Copyright Blah blah. And wish to automatically update the year. So I used

<?php echo date("Y"); ?> but it doesn’t show either.

So I used “insert php” plugin but it showing the whole code. And yet when I tested on post/page, “insert php” plugin is working.

© [insert_php] echo date(‘Y’); [/insert_php] Copyright

But I want to show this in footer section.
Can you help me please?
Thanks in advance..

Hey there,

Unfortunately the text area for the footer only allows html, this is for security reasons (WordPress standards) and the reason why you cannot use php.

Also, this is a theme mod or a “how to” question. This means there is nothing wrong with the footer as is, but you want to change it. This falls outside of the scope of support I provide. See here https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/support-issue-clarification?replies=1

My apologies.

P.S. If I were to offer a suggestion, I would suggest you look at the footer files themselves 😉

Hi there,

I would recommend to use a very basic child theme and then add the php snippet to the child’s footer.php

To get started with child themes:
