Simply and quickly add the current date and or time to your wordpress posts by using a simple shortcode in the text of your page or post. Simply use the short code [todaysdate] in your text and when the post or page is displayed, [todaysdate] will be replaced by the current date and\/or time that you defined on the settings screen.<\/p>\n\n

You can also override the default format by including the format string in the shortcode.<\/p>\n\n

For example, if you placed the following text in your post and your format string was set to l, F jS Y\n-> Thank you for visiting my site today [todaysdate].<\/p>\n\n

The date would be displayed as\n-> Thank you for visiting my site today Wednesday, April 23rd 2014.<\/p>\n\n

[todaysdate format=\"F Y\"] would display April 2014 no matter what the default was set to.<\/p>\n\n
