year is 2015 then the shortcode will display “2015” (without quotes) wherever it

with the copyright symbol to its left. Assuming the current year to be 2015 the 
shorcode will display “© 2015” (without quotes) wherever it is used.

[current_year_with_copyright_symbol_and_title] – This shortcode displays the current
year with the copyright symbol and site title to its left. Assuming the current 
year to be 2015 the shorcode will display “Site Title © 2015” (without quotes) wherever
it is used.

When you use any of the shortcodes, it gives the year in a div, which is a display-
ed as a block, so it is in separate line. 🙁 It would be better in a block with 
display: inline-block CSS property. Nice idea, please fix it!

 [Graham Jones](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grahamjones/) 28 maart 2018

When you use any of the shortcodes it sets the code on separate lines, so you cannot
use current year within any text as it applies line breaks. Secondly, instead of
displaying the copyright symbol, it displays the word &copy which is almost the 
code for the copyright symbol but not quite…! Nice idea, poorly implemented

 [syzygist](https://profiles.wordpress.org/syzygist/) 6 februari 2018

Great replacement for the Automatic Copyright Year plugin, which seems to have been
abandoned 🙁 However, it interfered with the footer widget text styling (which the
Automatic Copyright Year widget did not), and I had a deuce of a time figuring out
how to correct it. In the end, I styled div.dcywrapper in Additional CSS for the
shortcode output, then had to manually style the line below it (all rights reserved)
as a separate span in the HTML widget. Ergo, 4 stars instead of 5. But still, thanks
for helping me resist the temptation to run an unmaintained plugin because there
is no replacement 🙂 Don’t know why WordPress doesn’t just add an automatic copyright
shortcode to the built-in WordPress shortcodes. It’s something everyone needs, and
would make it harder for hackers to identify neglected sites.

Exactly what I needed. It is also light weight and so doesn’t add up to the resources
at all.
