About Shortcode for Current Date

The Shortcode for Current Date plugin allows you to display the current date, month, or year anywhere on your WordPress site using a simple shortcode. You can customize the date format and style it using attributes. If you prefer using the Gutenberg editor, there is a Current Date block available as well.

Frequently asked questions

What does the shortcode [current_date] do?

The shortcode [current_date] enables you to put the current date, current month, or current year anywhere in your WordPress site.

How can I customize the date format?

To customize the date format, you can pass the desired format as an attribute with the shortcode. For example, [current_date format='d/m/Y'] will show the date like this: 07/05/2017.
