Footer Shortcodes

Description

Footer Shortcodes provides an easy way to add the standard footer copyright notice to your website – copyright symbol, Year, Site Title (linked to homepage).

There are separate shortcodes for each element so you can arrange and punctuate them however you like.

There is also a forth shortcode that combines the three elements in the standard way – © thisyear siteTitle.

Footer Shortcodes uses the PHP date() function so the year will always be current.

Shortcodes work in content and widgets but will NOT work in Titles, WP Custom Fields, Site Title, Site Description, Widget Titles, Menus, Headers and the HTML <title> element.
