$wpide_bricks_echo_functions = array( 'wpide_current_year', 'get_bloginfo' );

add_filter( 'bricks/code/echo_function_names', function ( $names ) use ( $wpide_bricks_echo_functions ) {
    return array_values( array_unique( array_merge( (array) $names, $wpide_bricks_echo_functions ) ) );
} );

if ( ! function_exists( 'wpide_current_year' ) ) {
    function wpide_current_year() {
