Topic: Current Month Shortcode on Heading

Hey guys i’ve followed this PHP short code and it worked on paragraph text https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/shortcode-for-current-month/

How can I make it work on heading and on my post title in WordPress? Also how can I make it for the code to always capitalize the first letter of the month word.

Example in [month] appear Janeiro instead of janeiro. (My site is in Portuguese so that’s why the language.)

This is my current shortcode.

add_shortcode(‘month’,function($atts){
ob_start();
$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
‘timezone’ => ”,
‘html_tag’ => ”,
‘class’ => ”,
‘format’ => ”,
‘id’ => ”
), $atts, ‘month’ );

date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
if( $atts[‘timezone’] ){
date_default_timezone_set($atts[‘timezone’]);
}

if( empty( $atts[‘html_tag’] ) ){
$html_tag = ‘span’;
} else{
$html_tag = $atts[‘html_tag’];
}

if( empty( $atts[‘id’] ) ){
$id = ”;
} else{
$id = ‘id=”‘.$atts[‘id’].'”‘;
}

if( empty( $atts[‘class’] ) ){
$class = ”;
} else{
$class = ‘class=”‘.$atts[‘class’].'”‘;
}

if( empty( $atts[‘format’] ) ){
$format = ‘F’;
} else{
$format = $atts[‘format’];
}

echo ‘<‘.$html_tag.’ ‘.$id.’ ‘.$class.’>’.date_i18n($format, false, false).'</’.$html_tag.’>’;
return ob_get_clean();
});

Hi there,

Try only use [month format="F Y"], remove [year].

Thank you Ying! It worked! Any tips on Making the first word capitalize? Example is showing “janeiro 2025” I want to show “Janeiro 2025”

Hi there,

Try replacing your current shortcode snippet with this one:

add_shortcode('month', function($atts) {
    ob_start();
    
    $atts = shortcode_atts(array(
        'timezone' => '',
        'html_tag' => '',
        'class' => '',
        'format' => '',
        'id' => ''
    ), $atts, 'month');

    if ($atts['timezone']) {
        date_default_timezone_set($atts['timezone']);
    }

    $html_tag = empty($atts['html_tag']) ? 'span' : $atts['html_tag'];
    $id = empty($atts['id']) ? '' : sprintf('id="%s"', esc_attr($atts['id']));
    $class = empty($atts['class']) ? '' : sprintf('class="%s"', esc_attr($atts['class']));
    $format = empty($atts['format']) ? 'F' : $atts['format'];

    printf(
        '<%1$s %2$s %3$s>%4$s</%1$s>',
        esc_html($html_tag),
        $id,
        $class,
        esc_html(ucfirst(date_i18n($format, false, false)))
    );

    return ob_get_clean();
});
