Current year in Copyright field of Footer

[mieg62]

I would like to add a Copyright statement in the Footer e.g. like this: “Copyright 2012 – 2017”.
The year 2017 should be automatically updated to 2018 in the year 2018, 2019 in 2019 and so on.
Using the php-Code <?php echo date(“Y”); ?> is not working in this field.

How can i manage this? Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello, miege62!

This can be done with the simple editing theme file.
Follow the steps below:

1. Go to: Dashboard->Appearance.
2. Open Editor
3. On the right side find “Theme Footer” file. Click on it to edit them.
4. In the main window, scroll down to the “<!– Footer Start –>” line.
paste your copyright code :Michael Egger © 2012 – <?php echo date('Y'); ?>

below the “<?php do_action(‘agama_credits’); ?>” line.

5. Update File.

Hello Zex,

thanks a lot for the quick answer, your solution works perfect!

Since I’m using the Child theme I have first copied the “footer.php” of Agama Pro to Agama Pro Child and then followed your steps and doing the changes in the “footer.php” of the Child Theme.

Thanks again,
Michael
