How do I make the year in the footer of my website automatically update to the current year?
To make the year in the footer of your website automatically update to the current year in Webflow, you can use dynamic field references. This will ensure that the year always reflects the current year without requiring manual updates.
Here's how you can achieve this in Webflow:
Select the element in your footer where you want to display the year.
Go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
Click on "Add Field" and select the "Date" option.
Click on the "Only show last segment" checkbox. This will ensure that only the year is displayed.
Choose a default date for testing purposes. For example, you can select any date and Webflow will automatically update it to the current year.
Connect the dynamic field to the text element in your footer by selecting it from the dynamic fields dropdown.
Style the text element as needed, such as adjusting font size, color, and alignment.
Preview your site. The year should now automatically update to the current year.
By using dynamic field references in Webflow, you can ensure that the year in the footer is always up to date, saving you time and effort.
