Description
Adds copyright year or interval o’ years where desired. By default, it just shows the current year, as specified by the server ( which is hopefully keeping accurate track o’ time ). Optionally, you can include a start year. If the start year is different from the current year, then it will show an interval ‘tween the start year & current year.
For instance, if you set the start year to 2015, in 2018 you will get the following:
2015 - 2018
You can also set a custom divider if you want the interval sign to look different. For instance, if you don’t want the hyphen to have spaces round it, you could set the divider to “-“, & you will get the following:
2015-2018
Example
<?php
declare( strict_types = 1 );
namespace MyTheme\FooterTemplate
{
use \WaughJ\CopyrightYear\CopyrightYear;
?>
<footer class="footer">
<p>Copyright Jaimeson Waugh © <?= new CopyrightYear( 2015, '-' ); ?>.</p>
</footer>
<?php
}
or
[copyright-year start="2015" divider="-"]
This will print the message, Copyright Jaimeson Waugh © 2015-2018.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name
directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- Copyright year can be directly added to PHP files by creating an instance o’ the \WaughJ\CopyrightYear\CopyrightYear class & using it like a string or calling the “getText()”. Optional arguments to its constructor are 1st the starting year o’ your website & 2nd the divider you want ‘tween the start year & current year if they are different. The defaults for these, respectively, are the current year & a hyphen with spaces round it.
You can also add a copyright year to a WordPress document using a shortcode. Add [copyright-year] to add the current year & [copyright-year start=”%year%” divider=”%divider%”] with %year% replaced by the starting year & %divider% replaced by the divider that appears ‘tween the start & current year if they are different.
