Changing Timezones (Without Changing Nominal Times of Events)

[Benjamin]

I have a client with many events in Events Calendar Pro, but their WordPress timezone is wrong. If I change the WordPress timezone to be correct all of their event times change (and then they’re wrong).

Is there a way to change the WordPress timezone without changing the event times (at least once)?

Hi Benjamin,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

In addition to changing the WordPress timezone, you also have timezone options through Events Calendar PRO.  If you navigate to Events Settings < General and scroll to the bottom, you will see Timezone Settings there.  You can opt to use local timezones for each event there.

Let me know how this goes!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Yes, I understand that, but how can I change the WordPress timezone without changing the nominal time of my existing events.

Are you saying that by setting my Events Calendar timezone to local that will keep the Event times from changing when I change the WordPress timezone?

[Benjamin]

Okay, I got it working. Switched the Events Calendar timezone to local. Then updated my WordPress timezone. Thanks!
