How to Automatically Update the Year in Your Footer Copyright

HTML To Automatically Update The Year in Your Website Footer Copyright

Instead of manually updating your copyright year every January, you can add a small piece of HTML and JavaScript that automatically displays the current year.

This method uses an HTML Block in your website footer. Once added, the year will update automatically based on the visitor’s browser date.

In this guide, you will learn how to add an HTML Block to your footer and insert code that dynamically displays the current year. After setup, you will not need to update your copyright year again.

This works on all PhotoBiz websites that support the HTML Block.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click WEBSITE in the left-side menu.

This opens your Website Builder.

STEP TWO

Click FOOTER at the bottom of your list of webpages.

STEP THREE

Add an HTML Block.

You can add the HTML Block in one of two ways.

Click the HTML icon on the right-hand side of the builder. The block will automatically appear at the bottom of your footer.

Or click and hold the HTML icon, drag it to your preferred location, and release your mouse when you see the teal placement line.

The HTML Block allows you to insert custom HTML, CSS, or JavaScript into your website.

STEP FOUR

Click inside the HTML Block and paste the following code:

Replace Your Company Name with your actual business name.

Click SAVE CHANGES to apply the update.

Your footer will now automatically display the current year. Each January, it will update without any manual changes.

Helpful Notes

  • This method works best when used in the Footer so the copyright appears consistently across your entire website.
  • If you previously used a Tagline Footer Block for your copyright, you can remove it after confirming the HTML version is displaying correctly.
