Copyright Code

[babcockam]

At one point I had a code placed in the Site Copyright that updated the year, and it is no longer displaying correctly.

It has errored on over 30 websites. This is the code I have in place:

© Copyright <script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear());</script> Lintz Land Design. All Rights Reserved.

And this is how it is now displaying:

© Copyright document.write(new Date().getFullYear()); Lintz Land Design. All Rights Reserved.

Thank you!

I tried on my test site and had the same problem.

so @weaver will have to check, it seems the script tags are being ignored in the copyright box…

WordPress has increased the security standards, and that sort of script in a text field is no longer allowed. I really can’t do anything about that.

There is an automated check when a theme is uploaded, and that gets caught if the contents of a text box is not filtered. You can’t enter <script> in a post, either, for example.

Good to know.

@babockam, you may be able to use a php shortcode to do the same, I will try it

This reply has been accepted as the best answer.

It works.

If you have plus, activate the PHP shortcode in the Plus options > PHP page

then add the following to your footer box

© Copyright [php]echo date(“Y”);[/php]Lintz Land Design. All Rights Reserved.
