  • Excellent-A Plugin That Does A Good Thing & Isn't Bloated

    Thanks for adding this very thing that is very useful in full-site editing. It even let's you edit the text it adds before the date, though it doesn't look like it at first. (Check out the handy animated screen shot on the plugin page.)I particularly appreciate plugins that do an important thing with out the bloat of trying to be all things to all people. Extra kudos for that.It adds a dynamic copyright date that can be used in the block editor and full-site editing. And that's it. Yay.Thanks.

  • Tiny but very handy

    I’ve been using this plugin for a while now, and it’s been a real game-changer for adding copyright info to my footer. And when it comes to fixing issues, the plugin author is super responsive. I’d give it 5 stars! This plugin is amazing! :) Best regards,Ramzesimus

  • Simple plugin that does what it's supposed to, and nothing else.

    The plugin does exactly what is says its going to do, without bloat, bragging, advertising etc. Thanks for solving a problem that WordPress should have solved a long time ago!

  • Everything automated is quality time

    Such a simple task now made so easy. I have messed with code over and over for a block theme multisite. All snippets I ever found are shortcode based. This baby adds a dynamic block to blocks. In editor, add it to your footer.... done. Not only that it allows for the pre-text and the post-text before and after, meaning the whole © line is one block and not one before a shortcode and another after ... Best of all, it works across all sites on a multisite install. Thx so so so much. Love it!

  • Very Useful Indeed!

    I love simple plugins that do what is written in the description. No fluff, no frill, it just add copyright to the block.ThanksRonald

  • Elegant, well thought out, excellent

    This plugin is excellent. It does what it says on the tin and then some. All the features you need, nothing you don't. I used to use a shortcode for this but that doesn't seem to work consistently anymore in the block editor. Plus, shortcodes in the block editor can be a confusing UX. This is much, much better. I love it when a plugin implements something so well and so thoughtfully — I couldn't have done it better myself. Thanks so much for your hard work on this, Márcio!
