This plugin does not even have a field for easy date entry. I hope it’s a student’s
job. So good luck.

 [nickdesignz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nickdesignz/) mai 27, 2018

Leider zeigt er mir nur das Alter des Authors (Admin) an, andere Personen zeigt 
er nicht an. Hätte gedacht das man mehrere Personen anlegen kann und deren Geburtsdatum
hinterlegen kann, welches dann per Shortcode ausgegeben wird. @tschinkes – Tobias
Kraft Vielleicht gibt es ja eine Änderung? ——– You can only show the authors age(
Admin).
