Incorrect date information

    Hello,

    We are using your plugin in a project that also uses the “Modern Events Calendar Lite” plugin. This is used to store events that have a specific date.

    Problem:
    As soon as edoobox is activated, the date of each event is generally displayed incorrectly. Instead of 20.06.2024 it shows 19.06.2024.

    What I have already investigated:
    I have ruled out the hosting as the cause, as the problem also occurs locally on my site.
    In WordPress, the time zone is set correctly to Europe/Berlin.
    I have deactivated all plugins except “Modern Events Calendar Lite” and edoobox – problem still occurs.
    If I then deactivate edoobox, the dates are displayed correctly.

    Also noticeable:
    As long as the edoobox plugin is activated, you can see a warning under Tools > Site Health that date_default_timezone_set() was called incorrectly.

    The reason for this seems to be that your plugin calls the PHP function date_default_timezone_set() in timezone.php (and uses the WordPress timezone value for this). In my opinion, this is not necessary as WordPress already takes care of this. This double call of date_default_timezone_set() (once by WordPress, once by edoobox) leads to the problem.

    It would be great if you could offer a solution. At the moment there are many events in the affected website with the wrong dates and edoobox is also needed.

    Thanks in advance ??

    WordPress: 6.5.5
    edoobox: 3.0.23

    @threadi Thanks for your update and we appreciate your patience with this.

    We have tested this and cannot see the mismatch of the date.
    Also, we can’t download the Plugin Modern Events Calendar Lite because it was removed from the store.

    Could you send us an email to [email protected] with the website where edoobox has been added.

    The next WP development package is planned for mid-September, so if there is still a bug we will ba happy to solve it.

    Thank you for your feedback. I have just looked at the problem again and can no longer reproduce it. The times are now correct. I’m unsure what fixed it, currently guessing a time zone setting on the hosting. I would therefore set the topic to solved.
