# Date shortcode

 * Hi,
 * I’m using Booster for pdf invoice creation and want the prefix number of the 
   invoice to only show the year. I tried multiple iterations of the date shortcode
   but none seems to work (except the shortcode [wcj_order_date]).
 * Unfortuantely, I can’t change the datestamp on wordpress settings because the
   invoice date on the pdf itself should show date month year.
 * I allready looked into the shortcodes section but don’t seem to find it.
 * Can I use a shortcode for this and if not is there a workaround?
 * I’m probably missing something really stupid….

 * Hi [@ellenlx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellenlx/),
 * Thanks for reaching out to us.
 * You can use the [wcj_order_date date_format=”Y”] shortcode. This will display
   the order year.
