[Resolved] In footer just a J in stead of the year

Hi, thanks for reaching out.

I haven’t seen this issue before. Is there a time you can run a plugin conflict test, or do you perhaps have a staging/testing site?

If possible, temporarily deactivate all plugins. Does the issue resolve?

Thanks for trying.

We could simplify the copyright function. Please, try the following:

– Install a new version of Ultra from Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme.

https://purothemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/ultra.2.6.5-beta.zip

I’ve wrapped in the copyright function in a function_exists check so we can overwrite it.

– Next, install the Code Snippets plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/.

– Go to Snippets > Add New in WordPress. Name the snippet as required. Add the following in the snippet body:

if ( ! function_exists( 'ultra_footer_copyright_text_sub' ) ) :
/**
 * Insert footer text from theme settings.
 */
function ultra_footer_copyright_text_sub( $copyright ) {
	$site_title = '<a href="' . esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) . '">' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . '</a>';
	return str_replace(
		array( '{site-title}', '{copyright}', '{year}' ),
		array( $site_title, '&copy;', date( 'Y' ) ),
		$copyright
	);
}
endif;

Enable the option to run the snippet on the site front-end. Save and Active.

Kindly copy the above function from the forum and not from email, as email sometimes changes the inverted comma formatting.

Does the above help?

Thanks

The new version of the theme must be installed first.

You can either adjust your file upload limit in your php.ini file, or if you have FTP access you can unzip the theme folder and then drag the unzipped folder into /wp-content/themes/ on your staging site server.

Thanks for the update. I’m glad to hear the change worked and the date is now displayed correctly.

All the best with your site.

Kind regards

Andrew
