FEATURE REQUEST: Automated Birthday Notification Emails feature

Hello @gbordormor22

We have no plans to add this to the core. We will update the documentation.

Thank you for your feedback.

Now, you’ve given me your insensitive and uncaring answer of “We have no plans to add this to the core“.

While this is your decision– which doesn’t appear favourable to me, and to many users out there who are calling out for this Birthday Notification Feature, you have however said something which I don’t know if we can trust it:

You have said “We will update the documentation“.

That statement “We will update the documentation” does hold promise.

The challenge I have, is if we can trust that statement? ??

If we are to trust that statement, these are what you need to do for us to trust that statement:

1.) The code creates the Birthday Email Template quite alright, as you can see here– https://prnt.sc/qmABN23GgERB

But when you enter content into the Template and save, all the contents disappears.

SOLUTION ONE
Ensure that the error in the code, which makes all the Email contents to disappear when we save, is solved.

2.) In the update of the Code and the Documentation, make it possible for us to select what time of day, the Birthday Emails should be sent.

For example, I will like my Birthday Emails to be sent by 6am in the Morning.

But in the WP Schedule { wp_schedule_event( time(), ‘hourly’, ‘um_do2_birthday_greet_notification’ ); } —- You didn’t specify an exact time.

Please, when you begin the code update, make it possible to specify an exact time.

3.) This is the final point, that will let us know if we should trust your statement or not.

You see, I have spent 2 weeks struggling with this issue of Birthday Notification Emails.

To be sure that we can trust that your statement, When should we expect the update to the code and to the Documentation to be available for use?

Needing to hear from you soon.

Regards.

1. You could check the documentation and the bug with the template editing was fixed.
2. Sorry, but customizations are not included in our support. Our custom code documentation is just a help that you can use and improve. This forum is for bug fixing in the UM core.
3. You could create your own cron code or hire a developer for this.

Regards.
