Sunset and Sunrise off by two hours

Hi Daniel,

do you use accuweather or DarkSky? And can you give the location please?

Hi tuxlog.

Thank you for the swift reply. At the moment we use AccuWeather. The location is Deutsch Evern, a small town near Lüneburg.

Best regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

just tried it and got
sunrise: 6:55
sunset: 19:34

Seems to be okay for me.

WordPress – Timezone was Berlin.
What timezone do you use for WordPress? (Einstellungen -> Allgemein)

Hi tuxlog.

We also use “Berlin” as timezone in WordPress. Strangely only the sunset and sunrise are off by two hours. Right now it shows as followed:

Deutsch Evern
Mittwoch, 16. September 2020, 14:19

NW
Heiter
24°C
14 km/h
Gefühlte Temperatur: 24°C
Aktueller Luftdruck: 1020 mb
Luftfeuchtigkeit: 58%
Wind: 14 km/h NW
B?en: 25 km/h
UV-Index: 3
Sonnenaufgang: 4:54
Sonnenuntergang: 17:31

Thanks again, I was able to find the reason. It is the PHP timezone set to Europe/Berlin. If set to UTC the sunset/sunrise times are shown correctly.

I will dig into this to find why it is converted this way.

okay, think I found the problem. I use date_i18n function to convert the date of sunset and sunrise. I just found out that date_i18n has issues with certain timezone settings, such as numerical ones…

I will try to use another date conversion to fix it.

Can you please try replacing the two lines in func_accu.php (around line 275) converting the sunset/sunrise with:

$weather_arr['sunrise'] = date($fc_time_format, strtotime($sunarr[0]) ); 
$weather_arr['sunset']  = date($fc_time_format, strtotime($sunarr[1]) );

Hopefully this will fix it. If it works I will integrate it into the next release.

Hi tuxlog.

The suggested fix was successful. The times for sunset and sunrise are now correctly displayed. Thank you for the nice support.

Best regards
Daniel

I have a similiar Problem, send already an email. Since we are in Wintertime the Time for Sunset and Sunrise are 1 hour in diffecerne, i use all like written here, the fix did not waork as it seems to be imnplemented in the newest version of wp forcast already.

We are set in Canary Islands
WP Timezone is set to Canary Islands and shows correctly

Even if i set the Timezone to UTC +0 ist shows wrong times, when i go to accuwether and check manually it shows in accuweather Page the correct times for this. Any ideas?

I found this lines:

$weather_arr['sunrise'] = date($fc_time_format, strtotime($sunarr[0]) ); 
            $weather_arr['sunset']  = date($fc_time_format, strtotime($sunarr[1]) );

For mee it loks like correct as you put it on here. But the last Update is 2 month ago and this “error” is just a bit longer active then 1 Month…

Hi.

After installing the latest update, everything works fine on our site now. Just as feedback to tuxlog.

Best regards

Unfortuneatly on my page not, all is on the newest version, WP, WP Gorcast, Timezone set correctly… hmmm

I turned out that the werong values came from accuweather to subtract one hour you can change accu_func.php:

`$weather_arr[‘sunrise’] = date($fc_time_format, strtotime($sunarr[0]) );
$weather_arr[‘sunset’] = date($fc_time_format, strtotime($sunarr[1]) );`

to

`$weather_arr[‘sunrise’] = date($fc_time_format, strtotime($sunarr[0]) – 3600 );
$weather_arr[‘sunset’] = date($fc_time_format, strtotime($sunarr[1]) – 3600 );`

This will do the trick.
