Reserve Buffer not allowing same day reservation

That is strange. Can you try a -1 instead of a 0?

Yes I found an old post with that suggestion and tried -1 also. Same result.

I just tried this on our live site, changing it to 0, and I was able to reserve today, so something funky is going on.

What are your Base increment in minutes, Setup increments (0 I assume) and Cleanup increments (0 I assume)?

How about Days Allowed to Reserve?

Base increment in minutes 30
Setup increment 0
Cleanup increments 0
Days Buffer for Reserve 0
Days Allowed to Resere 90

Is the branch in question set to “Available to the public?”

Does the Room Container have “Public?” checked?

Yes to both.

Dumb question. Is the branch open today in the settings?

Ha no such thing. Yes the branch is open 7:00 to 5:00 P.M. every weekday. I actually installed the plugin the other day and had the same problem but I was exploring so I thought I might have jacked it up. So I wiped it, reinstalled it. I went through and set the Settings, one branch, three rooms, and containers for each room. I can provide you a list of the settings for those items if it would help.

I thought this was interesting. I have two branches setup.
In Branch1 I have 4 rooms Computer1, Computer2, Computer3, and 3rd Floor Conference Room.

In Branch1 I have 5 containers – EDComputer1, EDComputer2, EDcomputer3, ED Training Room (which contains Computer1,Computer2,Computer3), and Main Office Conf Room.

In playing with the system yesterday I set up a reservation for EDComputer1 today at 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM. I also setup an all day event for March 6th for ED Training Room.

This morning I can reserve the EDComputer1 from 8:00 AM on.

EDComputer2, EDComputer3, and Main Office Conf Room are not available until 2:00 pm today.

ED Training Room (which contains EDComputer1) is available from 8:00 AM on.

So….. my other Branch is similar Branch2 -> WDComputer1 (container) -> Computer4. Reservation times weren’t available until 2:00 pm. I created a reservation for Monday 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM and backdated it in the db until today. Immediately I can book anytime after 8:00 AM today.

Is your server in the same time zone as you? I has issues with that on our own installation.

Yes the system time and php.ini both have our timezone set. It does seem like a timezone issue though huh?

I’m thinking about MySQL’s setting, since that’s where it’s reading the time.

Can you run MySQL commands?

Try:

SELECT @@system_time_zone;

Shows CST which would be correct.

I don’t know how or why but timezone setting in WP itself wasn’t working. I finally reinstalled that again and it fixed it. Thanks so much for tracking this down with me.

I can’t tell you how much trouble I had when we moved to a hosting two time zones over.

I’m so glad it works now!
