Timezone is off, displaying UTC on all events

Hi @pderas,

Thanks for reporting this! I just tested the update on my test site and did not seen a similar behavior.

Could you please share with me the following information:

– What timezone do you have set under Settings > General?
– What is your timezone setting under Events > Settings > General tab > Timezone Settings section > Time zone mode

Could you also provide a URL to your calendar and point out 1-2 events where the issue can be seen, and the details of the issue? (What should be seen there? What is seen instead?)

Also a list of the plugins you use would be great. You can find this – and a whole bunch more – under Events > Help > System Information section > big black box

Thanks,
Andras

Hello @joeroyhud @adammish @pderas @mhighley @phoenixmagoo

I have some info for you, partially triggered by phoenixMagoo.

The date_dafault_timezone_set function should not be used any more as per WP recommendation. See the ‘Not recommended’ section here:

Date/Time component improvements in WordPress 5.3

We will be removing that from our code as well, though it is only used in edge cases for recurring events.

Other plugins / themes however might be using that function, so it can cause this issue on the site. Probably the best way moving forward would be doing a full conflict test and determining which plugin is causing this.
Here’s a link to our conflict testing guide:
https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

Once the responsible plugin / theme is found, then disabling that plugin and notifying the plugin / theme devs to check / update their code is the way to go.

Alternative / workaround until this gets fixed by the respective parties is to roll back to WP 5.2.4.

Hope this helps.
Andras

Please try to go through our conflict testing process and see if you can find out which plugin / theme could be causing this:
