    Hi,

    Is it possible to add your birth date without using the datepicker. Some people find it quite annoying and just want to type their birth date.

    Regards. Jonathan

    Hi @jvdhelder,

    You can create a custom text field and use that for users to save their birthdate. You can add this same field in the profile form too to show the same value saved. It’s not possible to recreate or change type of any predefined field ( like birthdate ), but you can use own custom field to replace that. Hope it’s clear.

    Thanks.

    Hi @mansurahamed

    Thanks for your explanation!

    Will it also work as filter at the members list? Can you select the years or something like that?

    If not, can you make it possible to use the datepicker and/or typing the date?

    Thanks!

    Hi @jvdhelder,

    You can use that in member directory like any other text field. User will manually need to put the year to search. But it’s recommended to use the predefined datepicker field instead.

    It’s not possible to use the datepicker typing the date. You need custom coding for that and also have to make sure user put the exact format with validation.

    Thanks.

    Hi @mansurahamed,

    Can it be on the wishing list? Like the Date Picker for Contact Form 7 plugin. It works very nice.

    Thanks!

    Hi @jvdhelder,

    We don’t have any plan to change that at this moment. Could you please open a feature request issue in github for that. Our team will have a look at this and see if that is something can be done in next version upgrade.

    Thanks.
