Dynamic Year Block

FAQ

Why would I need this?

This eliminates the need to manually edit the year of your website’s copyright statement, usually located at the bottom of each page.

What is the recommended way to use it?

It is recommended to insert it in the footer template part of your block’s theme, but it can be used anywhere in your content.

Also, you will probably want to use it within a Row block to make it appear horizontally with other text elements, as demonstrated in the fourth screenshot above.

Will this plugin hinder my website loading performance?

Not at all, the plugin is quite simple. It does not add any CSS or Javascript on its own. If you want to style the text in any way, you will use the Block Editor’s native features to do so.

Does this plugin collect any data from me or my users?

Absolutely not, the plugin respects your privacy. It’s completely add-free and the code only uses core WordPress functions.

Does this plugin work in the Classic Editor?

No, this plugin works exclusively in the Block Editor.

Does the plugin use the client time (via Javascript) or the server time (via PHP) to update the year?

The plugin uses a WordPress core function (current_datetime) to get your server time, using the timezone specified in the “Settings → General → Timezone” on your WordPress dashboard. So it is important to set your timezone in order to display the year correctly, especially at the turn of the year.

Where can I send feedback or support questions?

Please reach out via the official plugin support forum.

You can also follow the development of the plugin in the official Épico Studio GitHub repository, where you can see the complete code.
