<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
And also copy and paste below JavaScript code between <script></script> tag.
<script>
var curDate = new Date().getDate();
var curMonth = new Date().getMonth();
var curYear = new Date().getFullYear();
var startDay = new Date(curYear, curMonth, 1).getDay();
var months = [
"January",
"February",
"March",
"April",
"May",
"June",
"July",
"August",
"September",
"October",
"November",
"December"
];
var noofdays = [
"31",
"29",
"31",
"30",
"31",
"30",
"31",
"31",
"30",
"31",
"30",
"31"
];
var prevMonth = noofdays[curMonth - 1];
if (curMonth == 11) {
prevMonth = noofdays[0];
} else if (curMonth == 0) {
prevMonth = noofdays[11];
}
var totalDays = noofdays[curMonth];
var counter = 0;
var precounter = prevMonth - (startDay - 1);
var rightbox = 6;
var flag = true;
jQuery(".curr-month b").text(months[curMonth]);
for (var i = 0; i < 42; i++) {
if (i >= startDay) {
counter++;
if (counter > totalDays) {
counter = 1;
flag = false;
}
if (flag == true) {
jQuery(".all-date ul").append(
'<li class="monthdate">' + counter + "</li>"
);
} else {
jQuery(".all-date ul").append(
'<li style="opacity:.8">' + counter + "</li>"
);
}
} else {
jQuery(".all-date ul").append(
'<li style="opacity:.8">' + precounter + "</li>"
);
precounter++;
}
if (i == rightbox) {
jQuery(jQuery(".all-date ul li")[rightbox]).addClass("b-right");
rightbox = rightbox + 7;
}
if (i > 34) {
jQuery(jQuery(".all-date ul li")[i]).addClass("b-bottom");
}
if (
jQuery(jQuery(".all-date ul li")[i]).text() == curDate &&
jQuery(jQuery(".all-date ul li")[i]).css("opacity") == 1
) {
