Current Year Shortcode

This is a plugin which adds a simple shortcode to display the current year or a dynamic year range, particularly useful for copyright statements at the bottom of your website.

Its most basic usage is 2025, which will display the current year. If you provide a starting year with the ‘from’ parameter, it will expand into a date range when the ‘from’ year is before the current year.

If 2025 is used by another plugin, then it uses the fallback [runthings_year] which can be customised with the runthings_current_year_shortcode_tag filter. You can see the active shortcode tag in it entry in the installed plugins page.
