  • I want to display the birth dates of famous British men and women on the appropriate day; this plugin does that effectively. I’d agree with the review stating importing data would be ideal. I’d also like to display the day and month next to the Widget title.

    Thanks for your feedback. You can use a standard CVS importer plugin (for example CSV Importer) to import events for TDIH because the events are stored as posts.

    It’s not currently possible to show the day and month in the Widget title, but I may add that in a future version.

    I’ve updated the documentation here with instructions on how to import and format a CSV file of events using Really Simple CSV Importer.

    Thanks for that. I tried it and I have got the hang of it now, and it will help a lot. I had a few issues with foreign accents with the Importer. Lots of British names have commas within them for members of the nobility, and so for us a TAB importer would be more useful. I’ll convert my commas to some other character and then individually update any records once imported.
