Simple Current Date Time
Beschrijving
“Simple Current Date Time” is a lightweight and straightforward WordPress plugin designed to effortlessly display dynamic date and time information on your website. It leverages WordPress’s built-in date/time formatting, ensuring that the output is automatically localized according to your site’s language settings. This makes it an ideal “date and time plugin for WordPress” for multilingual websites or any site needing accurate, localized date displays.
A key feature is its ability to parse these shortcodes not only in your post/page content but also directly within your H1 headings and, importantly, in your SEO metatitles (the <title> tag of your pages). This can be useful for creating dynamic, always-current titles.

French Aliases Also Available:
