Displaying next month’s date

Hi there @kimblebear,

With the built-in shortcodes in MailPoet, it looks like there are only options for displaying the current month, date, day, year, etc.

However, you can create custom shortcodes in MailPoet as well:
https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/160-create-a-custom-shortcode

I see in this thread here a clean option to always display the next month in PHP.

So, you could use that to create a custom shortcode:

add_filter('mailpoet_newsletter_shortcode', 'mailpoet_shortcode_for_next_month', 10, 6);
function mailpoet_shortcode_for_next_month($shortcode, $newsletter, $subscriber, $queue, $newsletter_body, $arguments) {
  // always return the shortcode if it doesn't match your own!
  if ($shortcode !== '[custom:next_month]') return $shortcode; 
  
  return date('F',strtotime('first day of +1 month'));
}

Then use the shortcode [custom:next_month] to display the next month in your newsletter/Post Notification emails.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
