 * Hi there,
 * is there a way to display the current year in the title, not only in meta but
   in the post title as well?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello!
 * This piece of code will do:
 *     ```
       add_shortcode( 'year', function() {
       	return date('Y');
       } );
       add_filter( 'the_title', 'do_shortcode' );
       add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_title_from_custom_field', 'do_shortcode' );
       add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_title_from_generation', 'do_shortcode' );
       ```
   
 * ([Where to place filters?](https://theseoframework.com/docs/using-filters/#where))
 * When that code is active on your site, you can use `[year]` to display the year.
 * Please mind that the placeholders and counters of The SEO Framework will not 
   show or reflect the output of shortcodes; the SEO Bar is accurate, however.
 * P.S. from WordPress v5.4 onward, it’s best to exchange `do_shortcode` with `apply_shortcodes`
   in the snippet.
