Add current year to footer

cpjennmeakin — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 16:05:06 +0000

I would like to add a copyright with the current year in my footer. Within the wordpress files, I know that I can add and it will show the current year. However, is there a way to add this in the footer text from within the “Customise” section of the CMS?

Here is where I would like to add this info

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! You can use the following code in your footer content:


Copyright TEXT Company Name - All Rights Reserved.

And then, add the following code into your Customizer, Custom > JavaScript section.


jQuery(document).ready(function() {
  var currentYear = (new Date).getFullYear();
  jQuery("#year").text( (new Date).getFullYear() );
});

Hope that helps.

This gave me the footer but instead of the date it showed “TEXT.”

Then I added around the jquery code and it worked.

When you say “add code in your footer content” do you mean paste this code into the custom css area? And if not, where can I paste this code? It doesn’t seem to work when I paste in the custom css area.

Hi There,

No, those codes are not custom css. On the Customizer navigate to Footer panel and look for the Footer Content fields and paste the code below:

Notice this string TEXT that string will be replace with a current year (2016) on the front end. To achieve that you need to add this under Custom > JavaScript in the Customizer’s Custom panel.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
  var currentYear = (new Date).getFullYear();
  jQuery("span#year").text( (new Date).getFullYear() );
});

Hope it helps, Cheers!
