Month view shows all-day events as starting day before they start

    When I view my calendar in month view, all-day events appear as beginning on the day BEFORE they are set to begin, and they do not appear on the last day they are set to end. So, for example, if an event is happening Nov. 8, 9, and 10, the monthly calendar view will show that the event is happening on Nov. 7, 8, and 9.

    The second issue, with events not appearing on their last scheduled day, appears to be a known issue and I made a change suggested by yunnn here; this fixed the second issue.

    However, the first issue persists. Except for the change made above, I’ve made no modifications to the plugin code; it is a fresh install, latest available version.

    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? If an all-day event is set to take place Nov. 8, 9, and 10, surely it shouldn’t be showing up on Nov. 7.

    An example appears at thisgreatwhitenorth.com/events; check out Nov. 7-10. The event appears on Nov. 7 even though, if you hover over it, it says it’s taking place Nov. 8-10.

    Thank you.

  • Hi Justin: we’ve got a maintenance release on its way and it should address the points you’ve raised here.

    Hi Barry,

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the problem persists in the latest version. However, I have isolated the problem.

    Again, when I have an all-day event, it appears on the dates on which it’s scheduled, AND it appears on the day before it’s scheduled, when in monthly calendar view.

    I found out that the “End of day cutoff” setting is the culprit. When I have it set to 3:00 AM, all-day events also appear on the day BEFORE they are scheduled. When I change the setting to say 12:00 AM, the events only show on the scheduled dates.

    I think this is a bug, unless the description for that setting is inaccurate. The setting appears to apply to all-day events, when it shouldn’t. If something is an all-day event, a setting that controls what day a partial-day event appears on should have no effect.

    I’m having the same issue here, latest plugin update and WP 3.7.1.

    And I have to agree with Justin, setting an ‘all day’ event should override all other time-related settings for that event, and simply occupy that one date. ??

    We definitely agree. Though this didn’t make the current release the fix should indeed arrive in our next or subsequent maintenance release. Thanks for your patience while we address this!

    I’ve upgraded to the latest available version (3.4.1) and this behavior persists.

    When the “End of day cutoff” setting is set to anything other than 12:00 AM, all-day events still show as occurring one day early. For example, an all-day event set to Feb. 2-4 will appear on the calendar as occurring on Feb. 1, 2, 3, and 4.

    A workaround is to set the cutoff to midnight, but then events that are *not* all-day events show on the scheduled day *and* the following day, making the cutoff setting useless.

    Any news on a fix?

    Thanks!

    Sorry for the inconvenience and disruption: I believe this was fixed, however you may need to re-save the effected events due to the way this part of the system works. Does that help here?

    Yes! Re-saving the events fixes the issue.

    Thanks, Barry! I will mark this as closed.

    Thanks for confirming Justin – and our apologies once again for the disruption – I’m glad this is now fixed for you ??
