    In some instances we only have the year of death. I set the date display to “Y” but I still get a full date, and it’s the current date.

    Is it feasible to change this field to “text”

    @ Alex

    Where are you looking at the date at? Changing it to Y will only affect the display on the frontend.

    Also, make sure your purge your page cache after you make settings changes. You, should setup Wp Super Cache not to cache pages with query strings.

    I realize it was a stretch. The display is fine. My problem is I have dates like “before 1976” You wouldn’t believe how lousy death records are.

    The “full date” comment relates to the input. I had originally assumed the “Y” would operate there also. So I just use 1/1/year since it only shows the year.

    Oh, I see… no it only affect display, not input. Full dates and valids are needed in order for it to be saved in the database.

    It sounds what you really need in this situation is just a free form text input where you can input any test that works for the individual you’re entering.
