In reply to: [Birthday Emails] Cron-job required?Cron-job is not required, but preferred. See in the FAQ: “A User’s birthday was reached, but no email was generated for this user. Why?”

This plug-in, as its name implies, only works with email. It does not work with Buddypress activity stream.
Thanks again.

In reply to: [Birthday Emails] option to remove the cakeSimply edit the template (Users-> Birthday Emails Settings -> Birthday Emails Template), remove the “@defaultcakeimage”, then insert a picture from the “Add Media” button into the template like you would do with any normal page or post.
Yes, what you want might get confusing.
Hi.
I’m sorry, there is no way to NOT display the birthday day and month on the registration page. The plugin does not know how to look up a person’s birthday anywhere else.Thanks

In reply to: [Birthday Emails] Birthday Test Email not workingHi.
Your host probably doesn’t allow WordPress to send emails. You can test for this using a test plugin, and you can have WordPress use Gmail or other systems to do the work of sending emails.
For details, please see the FAQ under the heading: “Why can’t I send test emails?”.
Thanks

In reply to: [Birthday Emails] Birthday Email TemplateI want the email to look proper on a phone or tablet, or I want to control the background color, font, header and footer. How?
You can edit the email content with the “Edit Birthday Template” button at the bottom of the Settings panel. To control these other things for your emails I recommend an additional plugin called “WP HTML Mail – Email Designer” by Hannes Etzelstorfer. It will let you control these other things in your emails.
That works great! Thanks very much.

In reply to: [Birthday Emails] Birthday Email TemplateIn the template editor, you do not have access to the <body> tag, so you cannot specify a <body background=””>.
I think the trick to getting a background would be to use a <table> tag to contain all of your email. You can do <table background=””> as described in this article.
You could start with a single-cell table, with border=”0″ to get rid of the lines. Then place all your content inside the cell inside that table using the <td> tag.
Tables are the way to go, when trying to format the content of HTML email, even though modern browsers use CSS to do this. HTML email is not as capable as browsers are.
I hope this helps.
PS: Oh. Well the WordPress editor doesn’t support the background attribute in a <table> tag. It strips it out. So much for that idea. It won’t work.
