Events showing incorrect event times in google search results

[Christopher]

Hi,

It has been brought to my attention that events are showing the incorrect times in google search results. They appear to be ahead by 7 hours. For example Cirque Musica Holiday Spectacular December 2 @ 8:00 pm is showing in Google Search results on December 3 @ 3:00 am.

To bring this up in google search for “Calgary Phil Events” and then click on the first event in the list. I have attached screenshots to show both the event in google search results and the event on the actual website.

We have our timezone in WP set to UTC-7.

Any idea on what is causing this and how to fix it?

Thanks,
Chris

Hey Christopher,

If you don’t already have a Google Webmaster account set up and tied to your WordPress website, I’d recommend doing so. Inside your Webmaster dashboard, you should be able to further troubleshoot this issue. Try resubmitting an updated sitemap as that usually helps alleviate this problem. I can confirm we don’t have any logged bugs at this time, so let me know what you find and we’ll go from there.

Thanks and have a great afternoon. Cheers!

Hi Hunter,

Thanks for your reply. I guess the client (calgaryphil.com) can’t find or retrieve access to their Google Account at the moment.

In the meantime I thought I would ask another question.

We are doing a template override on single-event.php. We initially did the template override maybe a 1.5 to 2 years ago. I wonder if using this older version of the override file could cause this indexing problem?

Here is the code in the override single-event.php in question:

<?php
/**
 * Single Event Template
 * A single event. This displays the event title, description, meta, and
 * optionally, the Google map for the event.
 *
 * Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/single-event.php
 *
 * @package TribeEventsCalendar
 *
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	die( '-1' );
}

$event_id = get_the_ID();

?>

Chris,

Having outdated code could be a contributing factor to this issue, though I can’t be 100% certain. I recommend updating your custom template with the latest code when you can find the time. Hope this helps and have a great weekend ahead!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
