   Hi there!

   I'm always working in small steps on my website. :-)

   So I tried to get a function to update my copyright-notice every year.

   This is a part of my sidebar.php

   echo "Copyright &copy; 2009 - 2012 <br> my name <br>Alll rights reserved.<br>";
   				echo "<a href=\"/impressum\"><b>Impressum</b></a>";

   Than I asked Google for a solution and got this:
   <?php echo date(Y); ?>

   But everything I tried was wrong. :-(

   Any hints to solve this small problem?

   Thank you in advance!

   Dennis

   Look at this solution: http://gostomski.co.uk/2012/01/better-auto-updating-copyright-date/

   You just need to call the function. You might need to jump through a few hoops to get it in a sidebar directly, unless you make your own widget for the function itself.

   EDIT: add it to the end of functions.php. then use this - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/

   Hi!

   Instead of:
   

   echo "Copyright &copy; 2009 - 2012 <br> my name <br>Alll rights reserved.<br>";

   use:
   

   echo "Copyright &copy; 2009 - ".date('Y')." <br> my name <br>All rights reserved.<br>";

   Regards,
   Peter
