    Hi everyone,

    I’m using connections and added users with anniversary and custom dates but in the manager board where the alerts for today’s or upcoming anniversary nothing appears.

    Is there something to activate?’ve been searching but couldn’t find anything…

    Using WordPress 4.6.1 and Connections Version 8.5.28

    Thanks in advance,

    Can you please share screenshots showing a couple entries where you have entered anniversary or birthday and a screenshot showing the dashboard?

    HI Steven,

    Thanks for your answer.
    When I add a new date and save the changes the date is not set. It cames back to 11/30/-0001 all the time.

    Regards,

    Ok, I found the issue. It seems in WordPress 4.6 they now helpfully set the defaults of the date picker to match the date format set on the General options admin page. Unfortunately this allows date formats which can not properly be saved.

    I applied a hotfix to your site which will force a compatible date format of the date picker. You will need to force refresh your browser in order for the change to take effect. The next update to Connections will include a better fix.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Steven,

    Thanks a lot for your help. It definitely works now!

    But how to make the upcoming custom dates reminder to also appear in the manager board? I only get the preset dates as birthday,…

    Thanks again,

    Looking at your site, it appears you removed the anniversary and birthday options from the date types while adding a bunch of custom date types. The Connections : Dashboard admin page will only display upcoming anniversaries/birthdays and today’s anniversaries/birthdays, no other date types.

    Hope that helps!
