    Hi kilimats!

    You should add following code to Functions.php file of your child theme in Appearance > Editor

    function displaydate(){
return date('F jS, Y');
}
add_shortcode('date', 'displaydate');

    and then add following shortcode in text tab

    [date]

    Code should not go Quick CSS.

    Best regards,

    I added this code at the bottom of my child function.php file like so

    /*
*Display date and time in icon box” title	
*https://kriesi.at/support/topic/display-date-and-time-in-icon-box/#post-662159
*/
function displaydate(){
return date('F jS, Y');
}
add_shortcode('date', 'displaydate');
}

    Then added [date] in the icon box content seen on top of the private link, still doesnt show, what did i do wrong?

    Hey!

    Please go to wp-content/themes/enfold-child/functions.php file and remove the code from the file. I modified it a little. I will try to reproduce on my local installation and post working code here.

    Yigit, it is set correctly under general setting, this is what i see there: Universal time (UTC) is 2016-07-22 15:28:53. Local time is 2016-07-22 11:28:53.

    when i use your code, it uses the UTC time instead of the local time, how do i make it use the local time?
