[year] and [month] inside the post/page

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

1. In the Code Snippets plugin, please add the whole filter (after the first line) under the PHP tab and choose run everywhere.

2. To also include the month, please update the filter to this one:

function month_year_shortcode() {
	$output = date("F Y");
	return  $output;
}
add_shortcode('month_year', 'month_year_shortcode');

// To allow Rank Math Frontend title to parse shortcode.
add_filter(
	'rank_math/frontend/title',
	function ( $title ) {
		return do_shortcode( $title );}
);

add_filter('wp_title', 'do_shortcode', 10);
add_filter('the_title', 'do_shortcode', 10);

Then, you should use this shortcode in the title [month_year].

3. The shortcode also works on your content (headings, paragraphs, etc.) to output the month and year.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

In this case, please try replacing the first two lines of the code with these to switch it to PL language:

function month_year_shortcode() {
        $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter('pl_PL', IntlDateFormatter::NONE, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);
        $fmt->setPattern('MMMM Y');
	    $output = $fmt->format(new DateTime());

Let us know how this goes.

Thank you.

Hello,

You can replace the $fmt->setPattern('MMMM Y'); with $fmt->setPattern('dd MMMM Y'); to add the day in the shortcode output.

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

In this case, you may need to create another function to have them both. Please try this filter on your site instead:

function month_year_shortcode() {
	  $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter('pl_PL', IntlDateFormatter::NONE, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);
        $fmt->setPattern('MMMM Y');
	    $output = $fmt->format(new DateTime());
	return  $output;
}
add_shortcode('month_year', 'month_year_shortcode');

function day_month_year_shortcode() {
	  $fmt1 = new IntlDateFormatter('pl_PL', IntlDateFormatter::NONE, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);
        $fmt1->setPattern('dd MMMM Y');
	    $output1 = $fmt1->format(new DateTime());
	return  $output1;
}
add_shortcode('day_month_year', 'day_month_year_shortcode');

// To allow Rank Math Frontend title to parse shortcode.
add_filter(
	'rank_math/frontend/title',
	function ( $title ) {
		return do_shortcode( $title );}
);

add_filter('wp_title', 'do_shortcode', 10);
add_filter('the_title', 'do_shortcode', 10);

Once done, you can insert the shortcodes [month_year] and [day_month_year] to your title and content.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

You’re welcome.

You can add this function to the filter to capture the “year” only and use [year] as the shortcode:

function year_shortcode() {
	  $fmt2 = new IntlDateFormatter('pl_PL', IntlDateFormatter::NONE, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);
        $fmt2->setPattern('Y');
	    $output2 = $fm2t->format(new DateTime());
	return  $output2;
}
add_shortcode('year', 'year_shortcode');

We’ll also pass this reference to our team to include the filter in the link you have shared.

Looking forward to helping you.
