Add Copyright © Year in the WordPress Footer with Automatic Updates

Coding Tricks and Tips, Visual Hook Guide, Web development 0

Do you want the text Copyright © Year ‘2020’ to be updated to the current year automatically in your WordPress footer? The best way to this is create a shortcode – without any plugins. With this I will also bring you a few bonus date formats like current date, current month and current day.

Step 1. Enable shortcodes in WordPress widgets

Place these few lines of code in your functions.php . If you do not have a child theme , you should get one first.

This will be overwritten next time you update your theme.

 //Allow shortcodes in widgets

add_filter ('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

Step 2. Create your shortcode for the current year (and current month, current date or current day)

Next step is to create one or more shortcodes that display today’s date. Copy the code below for the date formats you want to use and paste it in your  functions.php. You can place the code below the code you added in the previous step. Save.

//Display current year
function year_shortcode () {
$year = date_i18n (‘Y’);
return $year;
}
add_shortcode (‘year’, ‘year_shortcode’);

You will use [ year ] to display the year

2021

//Display current month
function monthyear_shortcode () {
$monthyear = date_i18n (‘F’);
return $monthyear;
}
add_shortcode (‘monthyear’, ‘monthyear_shortcode’);

You will use [ mounth ] to display the year

 [mounth]

//Display current date as YYYY-MM-DD
function yyyymmdd_shortcode () {
$yyyymmdd = date_i18n (‘y-m-d’); return $yyyymmdd;
}
add_shortcode (‘yyyymmdd’, ‘yyyymmdd_shortcode’);

You will use [ yyyymmdd ] to display the year

21-01-25

//Display current month and year
function monthyear_shortcode () {
$monthyear = date_i18n (‘F Y’);
return $monthyear;
}
add_shortcode (‘monthyear’, ‘monthyear_shortcode’);

You will use [ year ] to display the year

January 2021

//Display current day
function day_shortcode () {
$day = date_i18n (‘l’);
return $day;
}
add_shortcode (‘day’, ‘day_shortcode’);

You will use [ day ] to display the year

Monday

3. Add “Copyright © 2020 Company Name. All rights reserved.” in your footer

editing your footer should look something like this:

Copyright © [year] Company Name. All rights reserved.

Include or exclude any content from any page within your WordPress site.

 <?php if ( is_cart() ) { 
                     echo "Content to display on a specific page; in this case it's the cart page";
                     }else{ 
                        echo "Content to exclude from a specific page; in this case it's the cart page";
                   }; ?>

Now to use this peace of code just change the 

( is_cart()

to the page you want it to work with for example:

( is_page()

the word page being object

Ajax Woocommerce cart icon with number and total

Coding Tricks and Tips, Technology, Web development 0

Html Code (place here it needed)

 <a href="<?php echo esc_url(wc_get_cart_url()); ?>" title="<?php _e('View your shopping cart', 'dpthemes'); ?>" class="mini_cart dropdown_link" data-no-instant> <span class="cart_count"><i class="fal fa-shopping-cart"></i>
                        <?php echo sprintf ( _n( '%d ', '%d ', WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count() ), WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count() ); ?> - <?php echo WC()->cart->get_cart_total(); ?></span>
                        </a> 

Place in your functions.php file or custom function file, this ajax function auto updates cart Icon count and total when Add to cart button is pushed

add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_fragments', 'header_add_to_cart_fragment', 30, 1 );
function header_add_to_cart_fragment( $fragments ) {
    global $woocommerce;

    ob_start();

    ?>
    <a href="<?php echo esc_url(wc_get_cart_url()); ?>" title="<?php _e('View your shopping cart', 'dpthemes'); ?>" class="mini_cart dropdown_link" data-no-instant> <span class="cart_count"><i class="fal fa-shopping-cart"></i>
    <?php echo sprintf(_n('%d item', '%d items', $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents_count, 'dpthemes'), $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents_count);?> - <?php echo $woocommerce->cart->get_cart_total(); ?></a>
    <?php
    $fragments['a.mini_cart'] = ob_get_clean();

    return $fragments;

Changing Rest Api Prefix to help to secure your website

Coding Tricks and Tips, Mobile Development, Technology, Web development 1

WP URL for the endpoints contain the prefix as well as a namespace.  Here is an example endpoint

http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/1

That will fetch the details of all posts. The above example, “wp-json” is the rest url prefix while the “wp/v2” is the namespace.

If you don’t like the default base prefix and want to change it from ‘wp-json’ to something more beautiful, the code below will help you. In the code below, I have changed the base prefix from ‘wp-json’ to ‘api’.

/**
 * Modify url base from wp-json to 'api'
 */
add_filter( 'rest_url_prefix', 'dp_api_slug');
 
function dp_api_slug( $slug ) {
 
    return 'api';
}

you can change the return ‘api’; to return ‘any-custom-prefix’;.

Once you put the above code in your theme’s functions.php or in a plugin, Please visit the Dashboard->Settings->Change your permalinks( You can restore it after saving again, we need to change it at least once to flush the rewrite rules ).

So your URL example will look like the following:

http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
