WordPress Copyright++

Ever look down at a site you’ve owned for years and suddenly realize the copyright notice at the bottom isn’t current? We all have. Instead of setting a reminder and editing the year on every site you manage, just drop this code into the bottom of your theme’s functions.php file and edit the footer replacing the old copyright notice with the shortcode.

/**
 * Dynamic Copyright Notice shortcode.
 *
 * Usage: [copyright_notice]
 */
function rg_dynamic_copyright_shortcode() {
    $current_year = date('Y');
    return '<p class="has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Copyright &copy; ' . $current_year . ' ' . get_bloginfo('name') . '. All rights reserved.<p>';
}
add_shortcode('copyright_notice', 'rg_dynamic_copyright_shortcode');
