Enhanced Birthdays Widget for BuddyPress Users
TDLC Birthdays is a free WordPress plugin designed to enhance user engagement by displaying birthday information within BuddyPress. This plugin allows the creation of a customizable 'Birthdays' widget that can showcase birthdays of all users, friends, or followed individuals. Users can also view upcoming birthdays within a specified range, and the widget supports multiple instances, making it versatile for various site layouts. Additionally, the plugin encourages users to fill out their birthday information, ensuring a more personalized experience.
The latest update has improved security and performance, alongside the introduction of a settings page for easier management. Although the feature for sending birthday emails is still under development, the plugin currently supports multiple languages and allows for seamless integration with the BuddyPress Followers plugin. Users should note that in 'display friends only' mode, they will not see their own birthday, but their friends will. Overall, TDLC Birthdays adds a fun and engaging element to BuddyPress sites.
