Date Updater is the top-rated WordPress date shortcode plugin that lets you add dynamic dates, months or years anywhere on your WordPress website’s posts, pages, and widgets using simple shortcodes.
👉 Need Better Shortcodes? <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/aio-shortcodes/" rel="ugc">Try AIO Shortcodes</a> (FREE)
For example, if you want to display today’s or the current year, just use the shortcode [year]. When you publish/update the post or page, [year] will be replaced by the current year. It’s that easy.
By default, it will show the date like this: 2024
Similarly use the shortcodes [month] and [date] to replace your content with current month and today’s date, respectively.
<ul>
<li>[year] shortcode will show the year name like this: 2024</li>
<li>[month] will show the month name like this: July</li>
<li>[date] will show current date like this: July 18, 2024</li>
