 * Hello [@redswirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redswirl/),
 * **[current_year]** is a predefined constant in the Astra theme. Hence it will
   not work as shortcode when used with Beaver Builder’s module content. It only
   works as Footer Custom Text from Customizer settings – [https://wpastra.com/docs/footer-custom-text-helper-strings/](https://wpastra.com/docs/footer-custom-text-helper-strings/)
 * However, you can use **[wpbb site:year]** shortcode in Beaver Builder’s HTML 
   module to display the current year.
 * I hope this helps. If you have any queries further, feel free to ask.
 * Regards,
    Leena
