The power to dynamically display content allows WordPress users to create more engaging, up-to-date, and relevant user experiences. One handy application of this dynamic capability is using shortcodes to insert custom content into posts, pages, and widgets.
This article introduces a custom shortcode to display the current date and time and even calculate date adjustments, all formatted according to your WordPress settings or custom preferences. It’s similar to another shortcode I shared to calculate the number of years since a specific date. This functionality is not just a convenience; it’s a game-changer for sites needing to showcase timely content, such as event notices, special offers, or daily messages.
