Just use the shortcode **[current_date]** and when the post or page is displayed,**[ current_date]** will be replaced by the current date. And the date will be translated according to your site settings. By default it will show a date like this: 7th May 2017 But you can customize it to your needs. To do that, you’ll need to pass the date format using an attribute with the shortcode. Here are some examples: **[current_date format=’d/m/Y’]** will show the date like this: **07/05/2017** **[ current_date format=’F d, Y’]** will show the date like this: **May 07, 2017** If you don’t understand how this formatting works, that’s totally okay. ### Gutenberg Block If you are using Gutenberg editor, there’s a Current Date block you can use to insert the current date in your posts/pages. If you use the block, you will not have to use the shortcode. When you insert the block, on the right sidebar under block options you will see a field to put the format for the date. ### Styling You can use ‘size’ and ‘color’ attributes to style the date. For example, [current_date format=’d/m/Y’ size=’20px’ color=’#FF0000′] #### What’s Next If you like this plugin, then consider checking out our other plugins: * [WP Table Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-table-builder/) – Drag and Drop Table Builder Plugin.
