YEAR:
Up-to-date ✅

You can have the copyright YEAR on your website updated permanently!

You have reached this page because the YEAR stamp in your website's footer is outdated. This is one of the errors we noticed on your website.

In fact, there's no need to manually update it at the beginning of each year because there’s a simple one-line code that can do this automatically. Unfortunately, many web designers are not aware of this.

All you need to do is change the code in your footer as described below and save it. You'll see that the year information is instantly corrected, and it will update itself at the beginning of each year. You won’t have to worry about this issue ever again.

It only takes 2 minutes!

Just log into the control panel of your website and go to the Copyright section of the footer. You will see a piece of code that looks like this:

<div>
Copyright © 2023 - Your Website
</div>

Next, replace the year –highlighted above– with this JavaScript code, i.e. copy & paste this:

⚠️ If your browser has translated this page into your language, make sure that you copy the code from its original view in English, as seen in this screenshot:

The final content should look like this:
(without the highlight, of course 😊)

<div>
Copyright © <script type="text/javascript">var year = new Date(); document.write(year.getFullYear());</script> - Your Website
</div>

Then, save and exit.

Now, go to your website and refresh your page to see the update! That's it!

👏 👏

Feels great to know that it will update automatically on every January 1st, right?

😃

Is it safe to use?

This JavaScript code is universal, meaning it works everywhere in the world. As you can tell from its content, it contains no links to external websites. It’s a risk-free, practical, simple, yet incredibly useful code that makes things easier.

Is this important?

No, unless 15% of your revenue is significant for you!

😱

Marketing experts warn that errors on a website can deter around 15% of visitors from making a purchase.

Is this a negligible amount for you?

What's the best format for a copyright notice? 🙄
Click for details...

In order to describe the code in simple terms, the example above shows a single-year span. If your website has been "on air" for longer than one year, i.e. if it's older than the current year, it's best to show a range of years such as;

where 2019 represents the year your website was launched and 2024 represents the current year. In this case, the code should be modified as:

<div>
Copyright © 2019-<script type="text/javascript">var year = new Date(); document.write(year.getFullYear());</script> Your Website
</div>
