 * Hello, thank you for using it 🙂
    Yes, there is a current date shortcode:
 *     ```
       [oceanwp_date]
       ```
   
 * You can see all the shortcodes here: [https://docs.oceanwp.org/category/369-shortcodes](https://docs.oceanwp.org/category/369-shortcodes)

 * Hello, ah okay, no sorry, by default, there are no shortcodes to do like this,
   you will need to see this with a developer so he can create you a custom shortcode
   or you can also ask to forums.
