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.

For example, if you want to display today’s or current year, just use the shortcode [year] and 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.

[year] shortcode will show the year name like this: 2024
[month] will show the month name like this: March
[date] will show current date like this: March 27, 2024
