 * I have the shortcode entered as ” Copyright [oceanwp_date] ….”
 * It displays with the shortcode, “Copyright [oceanwp_date] …” instead of the number.

 * Hello [@lakeeriedev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lakeeriedev/),
 * I fully examined the issue you have raised on this topic and could not see it
   on my end.
 * Screenshot: [https://postimg.cc/674TMbCX](https://postimg.cc/674TMbCX).
 * For troubleshooting, please follow the steps below:
 * 1. Please ensure you have the latest versions of OceanWP and Ocean Extra installed.
   
   2. Navigate to Customizing > Footer Bottom; In the “Copyright” text add a space
   and save all changes(edit the copyright text and save it again).
 * If the above steps didn’t help you, please do the following steps and let me 
   know the results:
 * 0. Enable the primary theme(if you are using a child theme).
    1. Head over to
   WP Dashboard > Plugin. 2. Deactivate all plugins. 3. Then, first, activate the
   Ocean Extra plugin. 4. Check your issue. 5. Then, activate your plugins one by
   one 6. After activation of any plugins, check your issue
 * Note 1: You can try troubleshooting on the staging website/or on a fresh installation.
 * Note 2: If you have any cache plugin or server cache(CDN / Browser Cache and 
   Cookies and …), you need to clear its cache contents or disable them to see your
   changes. Also, remember to click on the regenerate all assets file and data in
   Elementor > Tools(if you have Elementor).
 * I hope it helps.
 * Best Regards

 * I didn’t realize I needed Ocean Extra. That fixed the issue.
 * Thanks!
