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.
