Timezone error

Thanks for writing. The plugin uses the time zone configured in the general WordPress settings, so that would be the first thing to check. Go to Settings > General and verify that Timezone is set to your correct local time zone.

Let me know if this does not resolve the issue.

The timezone is correct. Changing it have no effekt on the calendar

Any update?

Google calendar shows it correct

Sorry… while I am trying to build a reputation for fast support with this plugin as it gains popularity, paid work has to take priority. I haven’t had a chance to look into this yet.

Hi
I have the same issue. Just wanted to ask if there are any bugfixes or workarounds for this problem!

Thank you for this awesome plugin!

@personlighalsa Thank you for your patience on this.

I’m looking at your feed, and I see the feed itself has a block defining the timezone offset for the feed.

Looking at some sample events, those for 2019-06-18, I see events that, in the raw feed, have times set to 120000 and 160000 (12pm and 4pm). I see in the Google Calendar that you have embedded on your site that they are showing as 12pm and 4pm. I assume those are the correct local times for your events in Stockholm.

But I see when I embed the calendar using my plugin that they’re showing as 2pm and 6pm. So it appears that the plugin should be ignoring the time zone information in the feed, and displaying the times exactly as they are entered, rather than applying the +2h offset.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Thanks…

Update: Although I have as yet been unable to pin down the source of this problem with the ICS Parser library, I was able to implement a workaround.

In version 2.3.0 (available today), there’s a new parameter you can add to your shortcode that should bypass ICS Parser’s time zone adjustments. This is the bit you need to add to the shortcode:

tzignore="true"

Let me know if this doesn’t resolve your issue. Thanks!

Regards and wish you a good day!
