## Description

This plugin allows you to use the shortcode [copyright], which inserts a copyright
symbol, the site name (linking back to the homepage), and the year.

A span with the class “copyright” wraps this, and the year is dynamically updated.

This is ideally used in the footer of your website. If shortcodes don’t work in 
widget areas on your site, check the FAQs.

## FAQ

  How do I use this?

Enter the shortcode `[copyright]1 somewhere on your site – in a page, post or widget.
You can also use it in your templates with the following code:

    ```
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[copyright]'); ?>
    ```

  Can I use the shortcode in a text widget?

Yes, if you have shortcodes enabled for use in widget areas. If you haven’t, you
can either install the plugin [Shortcodes in Sidebar Widgets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-in-sidebar-widgets/),
or you can add this line of code to your functions.php file:

    ```
    add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
    ```

  How do I change the name that’s shown?

The name is taken from your site name, which you can set via Settings > General.

  I have a plugin installed that uses the shortcode [copyright]. Can I still use
this? Will it break my other plugin?

The plugin makes sure that ‘copyright’ isn’t being used already. If it is, it lets
you use an alternative shortcode instead: `[muffincopyright]`
