Dears I want to show the current year on my website. (For the copyright logo, I don’t want to remember to update it yearly) I followed the instructions on [https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-display-todays-date-on-your-site](https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-display-todays-date-on-your-site) and I’m able to show the current date. How to change the code so I get the year in stead of the current date? Sorry for this newbie question, it must be something small with the data type, but I can’t fix it. I tried, $w(“#dateText”).text = today.getFullYear(); but that returns an error that 2018 is not of the type string. Thanks for the assistance Bruno ---

Try: ```javascript $w("#dateText").text = today.getFullYear().toString(); ``` ---

Thanks for the code, I was wondering if anyone knows how to add a year? so that the next year would be displayed? ---

I was able to get this to work, but I want to add the copyright symbol before the year and some text after. So it would look like this “© 2018 company name”. How do I do that in the javascript referenced above? ---

Thanks - already read that - didn’t help. I copy the code, open the panel, see where to add the code, click on the line “//TODO: write your page related code here…” , but no paste option appears in my right click menu - that is the issue I am having. It lets me type code in that space but I don’t want to type it all out, I want to copy/paste - is that not possible? ---

@ [Andrew Galdi](https://www.wix.com/corvid/profile/456154f8-154a-4f32-9e7f-d99f924209ed) What was the answer? I don’t see it.
