Event showing incorrect time

We had to hide the date as it was wrong.

If you have a call to the date_default_timezone_set function in your functions.php file, try deleting it : that fixed it for me.

Thanks nablar. I appreciate you sharing your work-around for this issue. It looks like people have been trying to tell them that they have made changes to the code that is producing bugs, but clearly, they can’t find or fix their changes.

(I have been using this plugin for over 4 years without any issues. It’s quite odd that they would place changes in Production that would cause the incorrect times to be displayed — very odd indeed).

Hey frannyj09,
Actually the issue is with the date_i18n function of wordpress. The recent update (WordPress 5.3) introduced this problem, when they converted the function in a wrapper for the wp_date function.
In short : the plugin authors are not responsible for this bug, WordPress is (which is kinda worse actually).

Thanks nablar for the info

So not sure what that means though – so is this a WordPress error and if so wouldn’t’ many folks be experiencing it?

It’s on a bog-standard cPanel php7.3 stack

It is actually a common issue :

Date/Time component improvements in WordPress 5.3

Ah

So how do we fix this?

Something is affecting Timely’s “All-in-One Event Calendar” plugin and “Modern Events Calendar” plugin too. Neither show times for me.
