    Hi, I just recently changed from Yoast to Rank Math and been very happy with it so far. I have on my site the code that will update the year every year automatically whenever instead of typing 2020 I write [year]. But now it’s displaying in the SERPS “[year]” instead of the current year which looks terrible. The code I had to put to funtions.php for Yoast to update the year was this

    //* Activate shortcode function in Yoast Title and Meta Description
    add_filter( ‘wpseo_title’, ‘do_shortcode’ );
    add_filter( ‘wpseo_metadesc’, ‘do_shortcode’ );

    Do you have something like this for RankMath? Thanks

    Hey, thanks for that. I had a look but I am not so technical, so not really sure how it works. Do I just paste this:
    /**
    * Add item to Rank Math admin bar node.
    *
    * @param array $items Array of nodes for Rank Math menu.
    */
    add_filter( ‘rank_math/admin_bar/items’, function( $items ) {
    return $items;
    });”

    to functions.php and then the current year will be updating automatically? Or do I have to add more to that code? Sorry but I don’t understand.

    You can simply add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:
