Hello everyone. I just found a sponsor for one of my websites, and he requires to know what my member average age is. I couldn't find any way to create statistics for this, so i was wondering if there is some plugin or an option to do that.

Also, in my members list i can't see their ages (even as admin) as most of them choosed not to show their ages. Is there a way to force the age to be shown to all (or at least to admin/moderator usergroup) ?

Thank you in advance !

SQL query: "SELECT birthday FROM user"?

If you don't require them to add their birthday, then there is no way for you to figure out their age.

This is also true.

Thank you for your answers. Unfortunatelly in User Registration Options i can't find any setting to "require them to add their birthday". Can somebody point where that option is ?

Later Edit: I found the option "Require Date of Birth" enabled in User Profile Options. Now, is there a way to force show the age for all of them in my Members list ? Thx again !

Monk I wouldn't recommend forcing your users to show their age..
That function is there for a reason, privacy.

I don't know of a way of forcing their age to be shown.

I want to do that for 3 other reasons (that i believe are more important than age privacy):
1. I have content that shouldn't be allowed to some age (no, it's not pr0n)
2. I have too many users that are over 120 years old or 3-4 years old (and i want to be able to sort them and fix that problem)
3. I have problems keeping the hosting & website so i found a sponsor. But the sponsor "demands" to see the age of all users online.

I just hoped there is a plugin or some settings for that...
