I am looking to set up a ‘Birthday’ profile field in Buddypress that displays a month and date, but not a year. I have not been able to figure out how to remove the year drop-down box from the options on the “Edit Profile” page. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Amm… I’m not sure, but maybe you can edit the file inside you theme folder (members/single/profile/edit.php) and remove the line of

`<select name="_year” id=”_year”>

`

I’m not sure, but maybe it can work.

i have a similar problem… when the user does not select the year but only day and month buddypress will assign the current year as year of birth (e.g. 2011).
Is there a solution to avoid this?
