I’ve reviewed everything I can that doesn’t make my brain explode all over the house… i’m sorry i’m one of these leechers who wishes they knew php but really knows my tiny brain will never get there… ooo look a shiny ball!
Assuming the custom field is called dyear, something like:
function age_in_years() {
global $post;
$year_of_birth = get_post_meta( get_the_ID( $post->ID ), 'dyear', true );
$date1 = strval( $year_of_birth );
$date2 = strval( date( 'Y') );
$age = $date2 = $date1;
return $age;
}
should work if used in the Loop as <?php echo age_in_years();?>

$age = $date2 – $date1;
return $age;
