   The easiest option would likely be to use this plugin: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/display-time-according-wordpress-blog-admin-bar/

   Be sure to check out the second section for a guide on how to add the time to the site and not just the admin bar.

   Please note that this is the time using the timezone for the blog, not for the site visitor.

   Code doesn’t work anymore after upgrade from PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.2
   WPCode indicates error in line:
   if ($atts[‘format’] == ”) {

     From testing the snippet on our end it currently is working in php 8.2, it would depend on the specific error message you are seeing on the line.

   Thank you for the great article.

   Just wanted to note here that, if the format attribute is not provided by the user then the shortcode will fail resulting in a critical error (parsing the attribute as string) and breaking the page. So, we need to convert the string to an array.

   function wpb_date_today($atts, $content = null) {
   if ( ! is_array( $atts ) ) {
   $atts = [];
   }

   // rest of the code…
   }

   Useful Tip:

   Method 2 (listed above) yields a date output in UTC format. To change the output to Local Time format, replace “date” with “wp_date” (2 places).

   It would be great to make a notation in your above instructions.

   You’re welcome

   I really wanted to use this, however, after adding it to my functions file, I get this:
   Warning: Illegal string offset ‘format’ in /XXXXXXXXXX/functions.php

   It showed the date, however, the warning showed up too.

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     Thank you for letting us know, we will look into this and for the time being the second shortcode with the format specified will avoid that warning.

   Hi, thank you for the code.

   It’s possible to show the month in spanish and/or in number?

   greetings,

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     For adding the date as numbers if you are using the echo date method, you would change F j, Y to m/d/Y

   Is it possible to display a moving date? For instance, today’s date plus 7 days? I’d like to have something on my site that always displays the date one week from today.

    Adding this php code in the header file is OK but how can I control where I want to appear my date on the page?

    • Mark

    Hi
    how can I change the font and the color of this code?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Using CSS you can change the colors. To use css add the date template tag like this:

      <span class="date"><?php echo date('l jS F Y'); ?></span>

      Now in your theme’s style sheet you can add CSS, like this:

      .date { 
      color: blue;
      border: 1px solid #CCC; 
      }

    I’m beginning to discover that you can do anything with WP if you just take the time out to learn how – and most of it is so simple. 2011 is the year to ditch plugins and take the weight off my site!

    Your suggestion is incorrect, since you’ve forgotten to take the local timezone into account as defined in the Dashboard.

    Responder

    • Editorial Staff

      We mentioned two solutions. One where you can use the server’s setting, or two where you can use WordPress setting. If you have a third solution, then please share it with us rather than saying that we are wrong because both solutions above work.

    I used to make this using a short code function in Wordpress.

21. Chase Adams

    Why not just use Isn’t it a lot easier as a built in function where you can change the display type in Settings > General ?
