Reply To: datepicker year range for dropdown

Hi,

Interesting question. I googled a bit around the datepicker script, and there is actually a way to extend the range. I constructed a custom script, which should hopefully resolve this – by adding +-100 years to the range on the page load.

add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_footer_datepicker_range_fix', 9999);
function wp_footer_datepicker_range_fix() {
	?>
	<script>
	(function($){
		setTimeout(function(){
			$('.asp_datepicker.hasDatepicker').datepicker('option', 'yearRange', '-100:+100')
		}, 500);
	})(jQuery);
	</script>
	<?php
}

Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.
