But once it gets a few years out of date, it starts to look like the business owner doesn't care about the website enough to keep it up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, I've been building a fair few <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/intelliwolf.com\/recommends\/divi\/\" target=\"_blank\">Divi websites<\/a>. They don't natively handle the automatically updating year in the footer very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nor do they natively allow shortcodes in the Theme Customizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I was figuring it out, I came across a number of ways people have tried to do it. They do fancy shortcodes, with extra plugins, or custom JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of those things works with WordPress as it should be. This is a really simple thing to do, it shouldn't be that hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because I'm using some of this on WordPress Multisites, I needed it to be easy to roll out and work across the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I dug into the code and this is what I came up with...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to add automatically updating current year to Divi footer<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/intelliwolf.com\/create-wordpress-child-theme\/\" target=\"_blank\">Switch to a child theme<\/a>, if you haven't already<\/li><li><a href=\"#add-to-child-theme\">Copy<\/a> the <em>et_get_footer_credits()<\/em> function from Divi -> <em>functions.php<\/em> into <em>functions.php<\/em> of your child theme<\/li><li><a href=\"#edit-footercredits\">Edit<\/a> <em>$footer_credits<\/em> to add the current year.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There's a download for a pre-built, basic Divi child theme on the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/intelliwolf.com\/create-wordpress-child-theme\/#download-child-themes\" target=\"_blank\">child theme tutorial<\/a> if you want to get started quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add-to-child-theme\">Add et_get_footer_credits() to your child theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either grab the <em>et_get_footer_credits()<\/em> function from the <em>functions.php<\/em> file in Divi, or just copy what I've got below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The default for this function is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>function et_get_footer_credits() {\n  $original_footer_credits = et_get_original_footer_credits();\n\n  $disable_custom_credits = et_get_option( 'disable_custom_footer_credits', false );\n\n  if ( $disable_custom_credits ) {\n    return '';\n  }\n\n  $credits_format = '&lt;%2$s id=\"footer-info\">%1$s&lt;\/%2$s>';\n\n  $footer_credits = et_get_option( 'custom_footer_credits', '' );\n\n  if ( '' === trim( $footer_credits ) ) {\n    return et_get_safe_localization( sprintf( $credits_format, $original_footer_credits, 'p' ) );\n  }\n\n  return et_get_safe_localization( sprintf( $credits_format, $footer_credits, 'div' ) );\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The line we care about is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>$footer_credits = et_get_option( 'custom_footer_credits', '' );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That

It handles if you check the \"Disable Footer Credits\" box or leave the Footer  Credits box empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sake of consistency, I usually leave the rest of the code in the function and just edit this line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>$footer_credits = et_get_option( 'custom_footer_credits', '' );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>$footer_credits = \"Copyright &amp;copy; \" . date_i18n('Y') . \" \" . et_get_option( 'custom_footer_credits', '' );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That produces Copyright \u00a9 2020, followed by whatever I put in the Footer Credits box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&amp;copy; is the html symbol for \u00a9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting a period in between strings in php joins them together. Don't forget to add spaces with \" \".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you remove the first part from the Footer Credits, so you don't double up the Copyright text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edit the Footer Credits, then hit \"Publish\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image shadow\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"369\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/intelliwolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-03-369x600.png\" alt=\"Divi Theme Customizer showing changing footer credits text and clicking publish\" class=\"wp-image-1676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress-757293-2559390.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-03-369x600.png 369w, https:\/\/wordpress-757293-2559390.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-03-184x300.png 184w, https:\/\/wordpress-757293-2559390.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-03.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When you refresh the page, you should see your current year in the footer, followed by whatever else you put in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image shadow\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/intelliwolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-04-600x268.png\" alt=\"Arrow pointing to 2020 showing current date in footer\" class=\"wp-image-1677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress-757293-2559390.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-04-600x268.png 600w, https:\/\/wordpress-757293-2559390.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-04-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/wordpress-757293-2559390.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-04-768x343.png 768w, https:\/\/wordpress-757293-2559390.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-11-divi-current-year-04.png 878w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other ways to customize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use the same footer on every site you build, you might want to change the whole <em>$footer_credits<\/em> line to reflect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many web designers will do something like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2020 Bill's Plumbing | <a href=\"https:\/\/intelliwolf.com\">Web Design by Intelliwolf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way you'd do that dynamically, without having to change it for every site, is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>$footer_credits = \"Copyright &amp;copy; \" . date_i18n('Y') . \" \" . get_bloginfo('name') .\n\" | &lt;a href='https:\/\/intelliwolf.com' rel='nofollow'>Web Design by Intelliwolf&lt;\/a>\";<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><em>get_bloginfo('name')<\/em> will pull the name of the website in, so you never have to touch that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to further reduce the code down, including the above, you might want to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>function et_get_footer_credits() {\n\n  $credits_format = '&lt;%2$s id=\"footer-info\">%1$s&lt;\/%2$s>';\n\n  $footer_credits = \"Copyright &amp;copy; \" . date_i18n('Y') . \" \" . get_bloginfo('name') .\n  \" | &lt;a href='https:\/\/intelliwolf.com' rel='nofollow'>Web Design by Intelliwolf&lt;\/a>\";\n\n  return et_get_safe_localization( sprintf( $credits_format, $footer_credits, 'div' ) );\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>And that's my take on how to add the current year to the Divi footer.
