Footer Custom Text Helper Strings

In Footer Custom Text, a user can add any HTML content. Furthermore, Astra offers some helper strings that can be used to place some useful dynamic content, such as the current year, or title of the website.

More information on these Helper strings is below:

[current_year] - This string prints the Current Year.

[site_title] - This string prints the Current Site Title.

[theme_author] - This string prints the Theme name with its author link.

Here’s the HTML Code for Helper String:
