## Beskrivelse

Users Birthday Email sends personalized birthday messages to WordPress users. Administrators
can review users whose birthdays are today or tomorrow, send an email immediately
to selected users celebrating today, and configure the automatic email schedule 
and message template.

The plugin includes a birthday date field on user profiles and can also integrate
with membership plugins or custom user data through developer filters.

### Features

 * Automatically send birthday emails using a customizable HTML message and subject.
 * Enable or disable birthday email sending from the settings page.
 * Review today’s birthday users and send to one or multiple selected users immediately.
 * Review tomorrow’s birthday users in a separate list.
 * Preview the next scheduled WordPress cron run in UTC.
 * Configure the UTC hour when automatic birthday emails are sent.
 * Optionally send an administrator notification when a birthday email is delivered.
 * Add or update birthdays on WordPress user profiles, or display the birthday form
   using the `[birthdate_form]` shortcode.
 * Integrate with other plugins using the available developer filters.

### Settings and Usage

Open **Users > Birthday Emails Settings** to manage birthday email delivery.

 * **Next Scheduled Run (UTC):** Displays the next run of the plugin’s hourly WordPress
   cron event when it is scheduled. This is the next cron check, not necessarily
   the email delivery time.
 * **Enable Birthday Email Notification:** Controls both automatic and administrator-
   triggered birthday emails. Existing installations remain enabled unless this 
   option is turned off.
 * **When to Start Sending Emails:** Select the UTC hour during which the hourly
   cron event sends birthday emails. WP-Cron depends on site traffic unless a server
   cron job is configured to run `wp-cron.php`.
 * **From Name and From Email:** Set the sender shown on birthday emails.
 * **Send Notification Too:** Optionally send a separate notification to the configured
   notification email address after a birthday message is sent successfully.
 * **Email Subject and Email Description:** Configure the subject and HTML message.
   The template supports `@username@`, `@fullname@`, `@firstname@`, `@lastname@`,`@
   nickname@`, and `@displayname@` placeholders.

The **Birthdays Today** table lists matching users and provides individual checkboxes
plus a select-all checkbox. Choose one or more users and click **Send Instant Birthday
Emails** to send immediately. The **Birthdays Tomorrow** table is a preview list
and does not send emails.

### Developer Hooks

Filter the user meta key used to store and retrieve birthday dates. Defaults to `
unity-birth-date`.

#### `unity_users_birth_date_query_args`

the target day and month.

#### `unity_users_birth_day_format`

Filter the birthday day value before it is compared with the target day.

#### `unity_users_birth_month_format`

Filter the birthday month value before it is compared with the target month.

#### `unity_users_birth_day_email_head_style`

## Installasjon

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the plugin from **
    Plugins > Add New Plugin**.
 2. Activate **Users Birthday Email** from the WordPress Plugins screen.
 3. Open **Users > Birthday Emails Settings** to configure automatic sending and the
    email template.
 4. Add birthdays to user profiles, or integrate an existing birthday field using the
    developer filters.

## Ofte stilte spørsmål

### Does the plugin require a membership plugin?

No. The plugin adds a birthday field to WordPress user profiles and can be used 
independently.

### Can I use birthday data stored by another plugin?

Yes. Use the `unity_users_birthday_meta_key` and `unity_users_birth_date_query_args`
filters to connect a different user meta key or customize the query.

### What time zone is used for automatic sending?

The configured sending hour and birthday date matching use UTC. The next scheduled
run preview also displays UTC. WordPress cron runs hourly and checks whether the
configured UTC sending hour has arrived.

### What if birthday emails are not sent?

Before troubleshooting, please review the plugin screenshots and ensure the plugin
has been configured correctly.

 * Confirm that birthday email sending is enabled, the user’s birth date is saved,
   and the configured UTC sending hour has passed.
 * Then check that WordPress cron is running and that the site can send mail.
 * An SMTP plugin can help diagnose mail delivery. If `DISABLE_WP_CRON` is enabled,
   configure a real server cron job to request `wp-cron.php` regularly; dismissing
   the admin notice does not enable cron.

If the issue persists, temporarily disable other plugins to check for conflicts.
For further check, install and configure the plugin on a fresh WordPress installation
with the default theme and no additional plugins.

 * If the plugin works correctly on the fresh installation, the issue is likely 
   caused by your current website environment, another plugin, your theme, or your
   server configuration. In this case, we recommend creating a staging environment
   and debugging your website to identify the conflict.
 * If the plugin still does not work on the fresh WordPress installation after it
   has been configured correctly, please open a support ticket and include details
   about your WordPress version, PHP version, and the steps you followed. This will
   help us investigate the issue more efficiently.

### Can I send birthday emails manually?

Yes. On the settings page, select one or more users listed under **Birthdays Today**
and click **Send Instant Birthday Emails**. Manually sending is also blocked when
birthday email sending is disabled.

It's an easy to use birthday email trigger plugin. Some functionality to add is 
to be able to use an image as backgroud. Cheers, Bert
