Timezone Lost in All Events

    Hi,

    I’m currently on the latest version of this plugin although have been using it for over a year so multiple upgrades have taken place.

    Someone has reported that my timetable for after the UK Daylight Savings Time shift is moving all times out by 1 hour.

    I’ve gone in to my events and can see that the timezone field is empty for all of the ones prior to the upgrades, but new events do have this in.

    I have A LOT of recurring events that are now broken and can’t feasibily go in to each one to change them all one by one.

    1) Is this a known issue with a previous version / upgrade path

    2) Is there a fix (even an SQL statement I can do direct on the DB to bring back all events to London timezone).

    Many thanks

    Mike

  • For #1, I know I’ve heard of people having the issue for some past events, but it hasn’t happened to everyone.

    For #2, If you want to update ALL events, try the following mysql query:

    update wp_ai1ec_events set timezone_name="Europe/London";

    Note: The table name prefix for WP by default is wp_ – This can be changed, so if your site is different, you’ll need to update the query to change this as appropriate.

    It’s happened to me as well. Changing the timezone to London hasn’t changed the times. It seems to happen every year and I’ve had enough.

    What I do now (on 3 of the 4 sites I run) is use a Google Calendar for the events and use the AI1EC to subscribe to the Google Calendar feed. Works a treat.

    I love the AI1EC plugin but it just seems to cause problems each year. I only have one site to migrate now to Google Calendar.
