    My goodness, the amount of time and thought you’ve invested in this plugin. Amazing!
    It is like the Swiss army knife of church plugins.

    Some of it, I have flown along with, but am running into a few problems with the address list and the birthday list.

    Perhaps you can steer me in the right direction.

    My address list looks very nice, but I am using a theme that does not use blocks.

    I used the following shortcode, but see no birthdays or household anniversaries on it.

    For the address list, I used to get a list of all my members:

    church_admin type=”address-list” loggedin=”1″ member_type_id=”#” people_type_id=”1,2,3″ photo=”1″ updateable=”0″ pdf=1 showDOB=TRUE show_age=FALSE

    Unfortunately, I do NOT see any birthday dates…full (including year) or NOT including year.
    I also don’t see any anniversary date.

    I put in updateable=”0” to let our logged in church members ONLY SEE their information, not edit it. It DOES properly remove the edit link on a household record. Terrific!

    When I use pdf=”2” or pdf=”multi”, I seem to have the same results.

    Also, how do I remove the vcf link? No person in our church has one. No household in our church as one.

    Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong, please?

    Thanks for your time…and all the many, many hours (and years?) it took you to create and tweak this!

    Thanks, its started 20years ago as a hobby for the church I was leading and grown and grown! Earns a few pennies, but a labour of love!!!

    Your issue is the double quotes are slanty ones, which aren’t recognised by the underlying programming language – boring straight ones will fix everything!

    20 years, amazing!

    Oddly enough, the version in my theme is:
    [church_admin type="address-list" loggedin="1" member_type_id="#" people_type_id="1,2,3" photo="1" updateable="0" pdf=1 showDOB=TRUE show_age=FALSE]

    It has no slanties and still does not show birthdays or anniversaries.

    Have cleared cache.

    Any other suggestions?

    Just FYI, I got no email, but checked back here and found your quick response anyway!

    Thanks for replying.

    Just checked my code – showDOB is not in the address list shortcode programming currently. Will add it to the todo list

    Wonderful! I have beating my head against a wall trying to figure out what I was doing wrong! Thank you.

    Also, is there a way to show anniversaries on the address list (is this the same as Directory)?

    Also, birthdays list doesn’t seem to show birthdays? Could this be something simiilar?

    Should I be using a particular pdf, also?

    Thanks sooooooo much for getting back to me on this! God bless you!

    For the birthdays, use

    [church_admin type="birthdays" days=365 show_age=1] change the days number to how far ahead you wish to show.

    I’ll add anniversaries as an option on the address list shortcode.

    The PDF version is a matter of preference, one of them was submitted by a particular church!
