Thanks!

Great replacement for the Automatic Copyright Year plugin, which seems to have been abandoned 🙁

However, it interfered with the footer widget text styling (which the Automatic Copyright Year widget did not), and I had a deuce of a time figuring out how to correct it. In the end, I styled div.dcywrapper in Additional CSS for the shortcode output, then had to manually style the line below it (all rights reserved) as a separate span in the HTML widget. Ergo, 4 stars instead of 5.

But still, thanks for helping me resist the temptation to run an unmaintained plugin because there is no replacement 🙂

Don’t know why WordPress doesn’t just add an automatic copyright shortcode to the built-in WordPress shortcodes. It’s something everyone needs, and would make it harder for hackers to identify neglected sites.
