    //* Shortcode to display the current year in WordPress
    //* shortcode: [year]
    add_shortcode( ‘year’ , ‘current_year’ );
    function current_year() {
    $year = date(“Y”);
    return “$year”;
    }

    Am using this code to add dynamic year wordpress post title. so i want to replicate the same in Rank Math snippet title also, but its not reflecting. how to do that?
    or Rankmath has any shortcode to use directly in WordPress title and snippet.

    Edit currentyear works only snipper

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Rank Math comes with its own variable to get the year, you can make use of the variable %currentyear% within the Rank Math metabox to achieve the same result.

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.

    Hi Gopi,

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Yes you can use the same Rank Math variable on your post title but you will need to hook into the_title filter, you can use the following code in your functions.php file:

    function my_custom_RM_title_replace_vars( $title, $id = null ) {

    return RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $title );
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'my_custom_RM_title_replace_vars', 10, 2 );

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.
