I wonder if the Birthday plugin is really working.

We have 1647 members and never any birthdays listed below. What's up with that?

Thanks

I guess there are to immediate questions. 1: have you actually added the display tag to your SP theme if not already there? (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....birthdays/) and 2: Are your users actually entering their date of birth into their profile?

It's already in the footer I suppose since I can see it down there.

Also, with 1647 users, I am sure that at least a few have entered their birth dates. :-)

does cron work on your wp install?  birthdays uses a daily cron to check for today's birthdays and upcoming ones...

you can check on forum - integration - cron inspector and see if the birthdays cron is active... its called sph_birthdays_cron...

If not, you can deactivate the birthdays plugin and then reactivate it and see if that gets it started back up...

that answers whether our cron job is active... but not if wp crons in general are working...  but if your stats are updating and such, then its likely it is...

so next step is to fake out your birthday...  go change it to be today or tomorrow or sometime within the window you set for upcoming...

then on that cron task, in the run cron task field, put in sph_birthdays_cron and execute it... now see if listed on front end...

also, make sure your server timezone is correct... and your personal timezone in your sp profile...
