Hi justanotherwordpressuser,
Welcome on the forum!
You can display the age range fields as two drop down lists, using the template bps-form-sample-1.
Sometimes a template doesn’t work well with a specific theme, because it’s not possible to write templates that fit every theme.
In these cases you can modify your templates to suit your theme, possibly with the help of the theme authors. After you modify a template, it’s best to move it to the directory buddypress/members under your theme directory.
You’re right, it used to display as dropdown on bps-form-sample-1 but ever since the newest update, I can’t get it to display it. I’ve cleared my cache and nothing still. Your previous version was showing it just fine.
Please make sure you are selecting the form template in the right place :), i.e. if your form is in a widget, select the template in the widget settings, if it’s in a shortcode, select the template in the shortcode, and only if it’s in a directory page you can select the template in the ‘Add to Directory’ metabox.
Often I make that mistake myself, when I try to change a widget’s template using the ‘Add to Directory’ metabox…
Hey Andrea,
Thanks for your effort to solve this but I have not gotten it right with the date range. Here is the code I have.
By the way, I’m no expert on php but I have tried everything from clearing my cache to reinstalling and nothing happens.
Let me know how to set a dropdown date format. Can this be added as an option on your plugin?
There is another glitch too. The date range field is not only limited to numbers only so, people can mistakenly input letters and any other type of character.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

I assumed you were using a ‘datebox’ profile field for your age field, but probably you are using a ‘birthdate’ field created by the Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin. Is that right?
yes, thats correct. Should I switch to a datebox or can I accomplish that with a birthdate field?
Thank you.
There is a bug in the birthdate support introduced in BP Profile Search 4.5. I’m going to fix it as soon as possible, thank you for reporting!
