## Description

**Current Year Shortcodes** lets you insert the current year, month and day anywhere
in your WordPress site with a simple shortcode.

Use the shortcode **[Y]** in any post, page or widget to display the current year.

### How it works

**[Y]** – inserts the current year with four digits e.g. **2023**
 **[y]** – inserts
the current year with two digits e.g. **23** **[m]** – inserts the current month
with two digits e.g. **01** **[n]** – inserts the current month without leading 
zeros e.g. **1** **[F]** – inserts the current month as a text e.g. **January** **[
M]** – inserts the current month with three letters e.g. **Jan** **[d]** – inserts
the current day with two digits e.g. **06** **[j]** – inserts the current day without
leading zeros e.g. **6** **[D]** – inserts the current day with three letters e.
g. **Mon** **[l]** – inserts the current day as a text e.g. **Monday**
