See Full List of Shortcodes (You can also see this link in Plugins page in your WordPress dashboard). As the months & years change, these shortcodes get updated into the content and title automatically on the shortcode locations. Zero bloat. Editor assets load only in the editor, and frontend JavaScript loads only for the Live Countdown block. Shortcode rendering makes no plugin database queries. Ordinary shortcodes are server-rendered, so configure your page cache to expire or purge when a cached year, month, date or age should change.

More details Free Support More WordPress Plugins and Web Tools WordPress Deals Request a Feature Privacy Dynamic Month & Year into Posts by Gaurav Tiwari is a completely native shortcode plugin. It has no settings page and does not use any analytics tool to gather or use your data. It’s bloat and ad-free. No notifications. No upgrade notices. Nothing. Fast Support and Feature Implementation I will provide instant support for all your queries or feature requests. Use support forum to ask your questions, request new features or report something broken. I will also update the plugin for every major and minor WordPress version. Compatibility I use the plugin myself on my primary website and other client sites that I run. I try my best to ensure that this plugin is compatible with every functionality plugin you use. Please let me know if this plugin isn’t compatible with your stack, create a support request and allow me some time. Please note that some plugins strip shortcodes or disable rendering of shortcodes. In such cases, it’s impossible to implement dynamic dates without rewriting the whole plugin code and breaking a couple of things. But still, I’ll give a try. Help me with a positive review to keep the development going.

Privacy This plugin includes some suggested text that you can add to your site’s Privacy Policy via the Guide in the WordPress Privacy settings. For your own information: LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page on display on your site. The pages are stored locally on the system where LiteSpeed server software is installed and are not transferred to or accessed by LiteSpeed employees in any way, except as necessary in providing routine technical support if you request it. All cache files are temporary, and may easily be purged before their natural expiration, if necessary, via a Purge All command. It is up to individual site administrators to come up with their own cache expiration rules. In addition to caching, our WordPress plugin has online features provided by QUIC.cloud for Image Optimization and Page Optimization services. When one of these optimizations is requested, data is transmitted to a remote QUIC.cloud server, processed, and then transmitted back for use on your site. QUIC.cloud keeps copies of that data for up to 7 days and then permanently deletes it. Similarly, the WordPress plugin has a Reporting feature whereby a site owner can transmit an environment report to LiteSpeed so that we may better provide technical support. None of these features collects any visitor data. Only server and site data are involved. QUIC.cloud CDN, if enabled, uses LSCache technology to access your site, and serve your content from remote global nodes. Your data is not accessed by QUIC.cloud employees in any way, except as necessary in providing maintenance or technical support. Please see the QUIC.cloud Privacy Policy for our complete Privacy/GDPR statement.
