Hi, with the changes in IPS 4.7.3 that have removed the Todays Birthdays widget, will this plugin bring that functionality back?

Some time ago I added a simple message widget to our login page which notes to users that they can use either their email address or display name to login. With the upcoming changes that will prevent users from logging in with their display name I want to remove this widget, but for the life of me I can't find where to do so. Obviously on most pages when logged in as admin I can hit the little flyout button on the left to adjust these widgets, but I can't visit the login page while already logged in to do so! It was many years ago I added this in the first place (and many versions ago) so I don't remember at all how I added it initially, doesn't look like a manual modification to the theme(s) or anything. Note I am aware of the following plugin, but we are not using it and have never had it installed

That's a really strange feature to remove, any idea why they would remove a feature as simple as the ability to show birthdays in the calendar and in a widget? Users still have their birthdays on their profile, seems really strange to not be able to show these on the calendar. Thanks, I have applied this which seems to have resolved the error. A little miffed we can't display users birthdays in a widget anymore, our users would use this quite heavily to recognise other users birthdays and make "happy birthday" topics.

This is referencing the Todays Birthdays widget, which to my understanding is a built in feature? I have never installed a plug-in for it or anything else calendar related.

Today I’ve updated to the latest version (4.7.3) and now I am sporadically receiving the following error when accessing our forums home page. Looks to be related to the calendar and/or the “Todays Birthdays” widget which we have on the home page - this is currently not appearing.

Have you been able to resolve this? After updating to 4.7.3 today I have begun having this issue sporadically when visiting my site.
