  <a href="https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/email/scheduled-reminders/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">As per these instructions</a>, am trying to setup a scheduled email reminder to all of our members 5 days before their membership expires.

  <p>I am using the Schedule Reminder tool. After picking membership types (group of people to whom I want to send these email reminders; in the example below it is to the group of members in the "Individual" category), I want to set a specific amount of time prior to their "Membership End Date" for the emails to go out. Instead, when I go to pick "Membership End Date" from the dropdown menu, all I see in the drop down list is one entry called "Activity Date Time" (which to me seems like the generic one). </p>
  
  <p>The documentation leads me to believe that this should be real simple and that dropdown should be pre-populated with that field - and I don't see anywhere to add something custom.

Comments.Text: Hi Anders - welcome to civicrm stackexchange. It would help people shed some light on your problem if you could include what version of civicrm you are running (This should be visible at the bottom of the screen). Also I think your fig 2 might be missing?

Comments.Text: Thanks for the response Luke! Good point and will do in future. We're running CiviCRM 5.40 .. and it was around the time we updated to a newer version that this issue popped up. I have an update from a colleague who helped me out. 
  
  "Turns out that  
  running this command via SSH seems to have fixed the broken calendar and weird path things: 
  wp civicrm api System.rebuildmultilingualschema"
  
  We're gonna put off updating the plug-in for a while not that we've got it working again.
