This tutorial will show you how to use dynamic content (current date) in Divi and Elementor to create an auto-updating Copyright year in the footer. You can use the same technique of dynamic content for anything you want in the future. So let do it together.
Step 1: Add a text module
Step 2: Click on the Dynamic icon –> then find “Current Date” option like picture below.
Click on Dynamic Content icon
Finding the “Current Date”
Step 3: Fill in the field
Before: Copyright © (notice the space after the symbol)
After: Website name (don’t forget the space). In this example, I wrote “Silver Orchid. All Rights Reserved.”
Date Format: Choose “Custom” from the dropdown list
Custom Date Format: Here you need to type a capital “Y”
And that’s it! Really simple right. The result will be Copyright © Silver Orchid. All Right Reserved.
Creating Current Date in Elementor
Step 1: Add a text editor
Click on Dynamic Content icon
Step 2: Click on the Dynamic icon –> then find the “Current Date Time” option like the picture below.
Finding the “Current Date Time”
Step 3: Fill in the field
Date Format: Choose “Custom” from the dropdown list
Custom Date Format: Here you need to type a capital “Y” like Divi.
Step 4: Fill in the Advanced field
Before: Copyright © (notice the space after the symbol)
After: Website name (don’t forget the space). In this example, I wrote “Omid Ahmadi. All Rights Reserved.”
And that’s it for Elementor. The result will be Copyright © Omid Ahmadi. All Right Reserved.
