 * I get this error after activating the plug-in:
 * Shortcode for Current Date
    Fatal error: Class ‘WPCD_Plugin’ not found in /homepages/
   4/d194349563/htdocs/clr-photography/wp-content/plugins/shortcode-for-current-
   date/includes/sfcd-welcome-page-content.php on line 23
 * And I can’t get the short code to work at all. I’m using the examples verbatim.
   Yes, the plug-in is activated.
 * Like:
    [current_date format=’Y’] [current_date format=’F d, Y’]
 * The short codes just print out like regular text.

 * Additional info:
 * The shortcode works on a regular page, but I’m trying to use it in the copyright
   text under footer options.
 * Is there a way to resolve this?

 * Hi,
 * That error was fixed on last update. If you haven’t, please update the plugin.
 * About using it in copyright text, I am sorry I am not sure how to do that.
 * There could be plugins to execute shortcodes there.
 * Regards.
