Nice Wee Theme: automatically update the copyright year in your footer
This is something I’ll include in future versions of the Nice Wee Theme, but in the meantime, to update the copyright year in the footer to 2009 – and to ensure that it updates automatically in future years, so you never have to touch it again – here’s what to do:
1. Dowload and open the theme’s footer.php file.
2. Replace this line:
<p>© 2008 <?php bloginfo('name'); ?><br />
With this line:
<p>© <?php echo date('Y'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?><br />
3. Save and upload.
The code
<?php echo date('Y'); ?>
will dynamically change the date at the start of each new year.
