Hi everyone, I have just joined for 2 months, I love Simple press I’ve been using for the past 12 months but needed the newer plugins.
The first plugin I’ve installed isn’t working properly. When I go to add my birthday, the calendar only goes to the end of this month, how to do I fix it, so it shows the months past this as my birthday is in August….I’m a little disappointed that it’s not working…grrr…off to install the next plugin I need.
The idea is that you put your birth date in there. That’s not, perhaps, that clear although that is, actually, your ‘birthday’…. 
I try but the calendar opens up to select the date and it doesn’t go past March, I will try again to see if I can just type the date format but it wouldn’t let me before.
I’ve managed to do it, I have to select my birthday year and month, then it works,,,,,yay…it’s me having a blonde moment, but maybe my members won’t want to give the birth year. Thanks for your help. I’ve got a few other issues but I will post those shortly…sorrry…lol
Well… they could always lie about their age. A common enough practice I believe…!
Please can someone help me. I’d love to retrieve all the birthdays of my members so I can send them a congratulatory message at the appropriate time? A plugin to send out the message automatically would be ideal but since I can’t get my hands around that for now, I would like a simple way to retrieve the birthdays.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A Users birthday – if they entered it in their profile – can be fiound in the WP UserMeta table with a user_id of the user in question and a meta_key of ‘sp_birthday’. The meta_value column is, of course, the birth date.
Hi there,
My birthday plugin works but is a day late on listing who’s bday is today. For example. Let’s say my bday was on May 1, on May 1, my user name will be listed in the “Upcoming” field. Only on May 2 is my user name listed in the “Today” field as indicated on the front end. Any ideas how I can ensure that bdays are depicted accurately on the front end so that they don’t show up one day late? Many thanks.
Timezone setting perhaps? What is the timezone setting in WordPress admin > settings > general? And where are you located?
What is set to LA??? Andy asked about two locations… The wp settings timezone should be set to where your server is located, not you… then in your sp profile, you would put your own physical location…
