Questions and answers
Why would I need this plugin?
If you write content with dates like "Best Plugins for 2026" or "
January Deals," you'd normally update these manually every year. With this plugin,
write [year] once and it updates forever.
Where's the settings page?
There isn't one. The plugin works immediately after activation with zero configuration. No settings means no bloat, no confusion, and one less thing to manage.
Will it work in my language?
Yes. All outputs follow your WordPress language settings. If your site is in French,
[month] outputs "décembre" instead of "December".
Does it affect site performance?
No. The plugin loads zero CSS/JS files and doesn't touch your database. Works perfectly with WP Rocket, FlyingPress, LiteSpeed Cache, and all caching solutions.
How do I use shortcodes in PHP?
Use the standard WordPress function: <?php echo do_shortcode('[year]'); ?>
Can I use these in ACF fields?
Add this to functions.php: add_filter('acf/format_value/type=text', 'do_shortcode');
