I'm building a site for a specific age range. I setup my filters and set the age range there however if you go to the site, the age-range still begins at 18. How do I fix this? Thanks

And I just realized that my new members block is full of pictures of young daters. my target audience are seniors. Again, I already have the age range set in my filter.

Hi godfly,

You cannot change the age range figures, but the filters should apply to the database. Did you let 24 hours pass after you set the filters up - the database needs time to recalculate?

Regards,

Yes 24hrs have passed by now.

So I can't change the age range figures? Does that mean that if my site is catering to the 45-65 age range, my quick search block will display 18-24 age range anyways? that will not be effective in my case.

Also, out of the 12 pictures on my "new members" block, only 2 are obviously on my target age range.

Hi godfly,

Yes, you cannot change the age reange figures.

Please supply me with the URL so I could check whether you set your filters up correctly.

Hiya Godfly,

You can change the option selected to 45-54 and delete the ages below that on the search box on the index, if you look in the source code you'll see "<option value="1" selected="selected">18-24</option>", just move the selected="selected" to the 45-54 age range so it reads.. "<option value="4" selected="selected">45-54</option>".

That will make it read to the age ranges you need as default.

Hope this helps.

Is there a way to set the upper and lower ends of the range rather than using the predefined ranges? What if I want 21 to 26, for example?

Thanks.

As Lisa said, those can't be changed unfortunately but you can get close enough with the method i posted up.

Hi guys,

Deleted the unrelated posts - David, thank you for commenting, but had to delete it as it contained the text of the previous unrelated one.

Cheers,

Hi Lisa

No problem, thanks for deleting the spam.

Thanks guys. I've been away for a while. The URL is www.sweetsavior.com. It's an old domain name that I've been holding on to for a while now. I linked it with WDP about a couple of weeks ago and my daily reports (the spreadsheet) shows that it's been getting 500+ hits (daily?) and I'm not even promoting it yet. I think it's a good domain and I would like to have it properly set up. Thx guys for helping out. Robert, I will try your solution.

Ok. I did Robert's solution and my code now looks like this

<select name="seekingAgeRangeId" id="seekingAgeRangeId" class="formSelect">


<option value="1">18-24</option>

<option value="2" >25-34</option>

<option value="3" >35-44</option>

<option value="4" selected="selected">45-54</option>

<option value="5" >55+</option>

I saved it but my site still shows 18-24. Maybe I just need it a little time for the changes to propagate?

Perfect! The site now displays the correct age range that I want =)

However, it only displays 1 'new member'. I think i used to have quite a few there.

Hi godfly,

As usual - please try checking your filters.

Cheers,
