OK, cool. That does indeed seem to be working.

One more question related to this, how can I display today's date formatted like "March 25, 2021" now?

Hi James,

I'm assuming you're referring to this line here 3 Approvals for 1616630400 where you want to convert the timestamp to a date value.

You are going to have to create a second shortcode to parse the [today] shortcode into a human readable time. You will need to use the date() function as depicted in this post below.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5213528/convert-timestamp-to-readable-date-time-php/5213552

Once you've done this you should then get your timestamp in human readable form.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
