<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>Dynamic Month & Year into Posts by <a href="https://gauravtiwari.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Gaurav Tiwari</a> is a completely native shortcode plugin. It has no settings page and does not use any analytics tool to gather or use your data. It’s bloat and ad-free. No notifications. No upgrade notices. Nothing.</p>
<h3>Fast Support and Feature Implementation</h3>
<p>I will provide instant support for all your queries or feature requests. Use <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/dynamic-month-year-into-posts/" rel="ugc">support forum</a> to ask your questions, request new features or report something broken. I will also update the plugin for every major and minor WordPress version.</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>I use the plugin myself on <a href="https://gauravtiwari.org" rel="nofollow ugc">my primary website</a> and other client sites that I run. I try my best to ensure that this plugin is compatible with every functionality plugin you use. Please let me know if this plugin isn’t compatible with your stack, create a support request and allow me some time.</p>
<p>Please note that some plugins strip shortcodes or disable rendering of shortcodes. In such cases, it’s impossible to implement dynamic dates without rewriting the whole plugin code and breaking a couple of things. But still, I’ll give a try.</p>
<p>Help me with a positive review to keep the development going.</p>


Dynamic Month & Year into Posts

Plugin does exactly what it says, nothing more and nothing less.

Simple and useful plugin

Great plugin but I did notice two issues.

1) The WebPage name in Yoast Schema doesn't get processed correctly. You can fix that with this:

add_filter('wpseo_schema_webpage', function($data) {
    $data['name'] = do_shortcode($data['name']);

    return $data;
});


2) If you use the Grow Social by Mediavine plugin then the meta tags will not be processed correctly either (will just show [year] etc). An easy fix is to check the option "Disable Open Graph Meta Tags" in Grow Social's settings. Since I'm using Yoast I don't think it was really doing anything anyways.

Works great


It solves the problme for recuring posts. 



Gaurav is supper fast in responding to support requests too! 


Plugin and support rock!

Automate SEO and content with dynamic shortcodes for dates, years, months, age calculations, seasons and countdowns in content, titles and meta.
