Show Month and Year on site

Any idea on how to have the Month and Year or even the Month Day and Year show. So for example on the site I want to say “Get Started Today March 18th, 2016!” and then each day it shows the updated date or "Get Started March 2016!? I have tried PHP code, but it just doesn’t appear on the page. Any idea on any code or plugins that would work?

Hey Brandi,

I don’t think PHP codes work on content area. You could try adding the time function as a shortcode though. Try adding the code below to your functions.php file, preferably on a child theme.

function fl_date_shortcode() {
  return date('jS F Y');
}
add_shortcode( 'fl_date','fl_date_shortcode' );

You can then use the shortcode [fl_date] to call the current date wherever on your content area.

Let us know how it goes!
