**Useful attribute for extend shortcode functionality**

**Format Attribute for Year**
 For shortcode with year you can choose format with
attribute format=””. It support “Y” (es.2026) or “y” (es.26). Default format without
attribute is “Y”. _You must enter year attribute in the same format._

**Example**
 [cyy year=”03″ format=”y”] **© 03-26** [cyy year=”2003″ format=”Y”]**
© 2003-2026**

**Format Attribute for Month**
 For shortcode with month you can choose format with
attribute format=””. It support “F” – “m” – “M” – “n”.

“F” full name (April)
 “M” short name (Apr) “m” number with leading zero (04) “n”
number without leading zero (4)

**Format Attribute for Day**
 For shortcode with day you can choose format with 
attribute format=””. It support “d” – “D” – “j” – “N” – “S” – “w” – “z” – “t”.

“d” number with leading zero (05)
 “j” number without leading zero (5) “D” short
day name (Mon) “S” ordinal suffix, to put after “j” (st, nd, rd, th) “N” day of 
the week, 1 for Monday to 7 for Sunday “w” day of the week, 0 for Sunday to 6 for
Saturday “z” day of the year (0 to 365) “t” number of days in the current month

**Format Attribute for current date**
 For [dmy] you can use the letters of the 
php date function, plus space and – / . , : ; characters. Escaped literal characters(
the ones with a backslash) are not supported.

**Example**
 [dmy format=”d/m/Y”] **12/04/2026** [dmy format=”j F Y”] **12 April
2026** [dmy format=”Y-m-d”] **2026-04-12** [dmy format=”l”] **Sunday** [dmy format
=”H:i”] **18:30**

Month and day names come out in the language of your site.

**Offset Attribute**
 For [y], [m] and [d] the offset is a plain number with + or-,
from -1000 to 1000. For [dmy] the number needs a unit after it: years, months, weeks,
days, hours, minutes, seconds. Also “today”, “yesterday” and “tomorrow” work.

**Example**
 [d offset=”+1″] **13** (if current day is 12) [m offset=”+1″] **May**(
if current month is April) [y offset=”+1″] **2027** (if current year is 2026) [y
offset=”-3″] **2023** (if current year is 2026) [dmy offset=”+1 year”] **12/04/2027**[
dmy offset=”-2 months”] **12/02/2026** [dmy offset=”tomorrow”] **13/04/2026**

Offsets follow the timezone of your site, the one in Settings > General.

## FAQ

### What are WordPress shortcode?

**Read how WordPress shortcode work:** [WordPress Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode)

### What are the available shortcodes?

 [m] display current month **April** [d] display
current day **12** [dmy] display current date **12/04/2026** [c] display copyright
symbol **©** [t] display registered trademark symbol **®** [tm] display unregistered
trademark symbol **™** [sm] display service mark symbol **℠** [cc] display **Copyright**[
cy] display symbol of copyright and current year **© 2026** [cyy year=”2003″] display
symbol of copyright, first year, current year **© 2003-2026** [cyyl year=”2003″]
display copyright, first year, current year **Copyright 2003-2026** [cyyls year=”
2003″] display copyright (+©), first year, current year **© Copyright 2003-2026**[
show_user_ip] display ip of current user

 [t] display registered trademark symbol **®**[
tm] display unregistered trademark symbol **™** [sm] display service mark symbol**
℠**

Symbols shortcode retrieve the most common “registration” symbols.
 For more symbols
shortcode write a support ticket!

### What is the IP shortcode?

[show_user_ip] display ip of current user

With IP shortcode you can retrieve your user IP.

### I use a CDN and [show_user_ip] shows the wrong address

The shortcode reads a forwarded header only when the request reaches your site through
a proxy it recognises. Local reverse proxies and Cloudflare are already in the list.
For any other CDN, add its ranges:

    ```
    add_filter( 'cys_trusted_proxies', function ( $proxies ) {
        $proxies[] = '203.0.113.0/24';
        return $proxies;
    } );
    ```

Ask your host or your CDN which ranges to use. Getting it wrong breaks nothing, 
the shortcode simply falls back to the address of whoever opened the connection.

### Why is the page with [show_user_ip] not cached?

Because that shortcode prints something different for every visitor, so the page
has to be built on each request. If you also cache at the edge, exclude the page
there as well.

### How work year format attribute?

For shortcode with year you can choose format with attribute format=””. It support“
Y” (es.2026) or “y” (es.26). Default format without attribute is “Y”.
 _You must
enter year attribute in the same format._

**Example**
 [cyy year=”03″ format=”y”] **© 03-26** [cyy year=”2003″ format=”Y”]**
© 2003-2026**

### How work month format attribute?

For shortcode with month you can choose format with attribute format=””. It support“
F” – “m” – “M” – “n”.

### How work day format attribute?

For shortcode with day you can choose format with attribute format=””. It support“
d” – “D” – “j” – “N” – “S” – “w” – “z” – “t”. The full list with the meaning of 
each letter is in the Description tab.

### How work year, month and day offset attribute?

For [y], [m] and [d] the offset is a plain number with + or -, from -1000 to 1000.

For [dmy] the number needs a unit after it: years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes,
seconds. Also “today”, “yesterday” and “tomorrow” work. Offsets follow the timezone
of your site, the one in Settings > General.

**Example**
 [d offset=”+1″] **13** (if current day is 12) [m offset=”+1″] **May**(
if current month is April) [y offset=”+1″] **2027** (if current year is 2026) [dmy
offset=”+1 year”] **12/04/2027** [dmy offset=”tomorrow”] **13/04/2026**

## Ændringslog

#### 2.6

 * Offsets now follow the timezone set in your WordPress settings, on dates and 
   on times.
 * More consistent handling of the year format: [cyy] and friends with format=”y”
   show a single year when there is nothing to range, same as format=”Y” already
   did.
 * Stricter check on the year attribute.
 * [show_user_ip] reads forwarded headers only when the request comes through a 
   known proxy. Local reverse proxies and Cloudflare work out of the box, other 
   CDNs can be added with a filter, see the FAQ.
 * Pages using [show_user_ip] are kept out of full page caching.
 * Code revision on the date and copyright shortcodes.
