Facebook Time is Different When Imported to Event Calendar on Website

[Andrea]

Hi there, I saw some forum posts about multiple time zones, however I only use one. Events set to 6pm on Facebook import to the website at 5pm. The time zone is set correctly in the WordPress admin settings. Why would this have suddenly happened? Thanks.

Hi Andrea,

Sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties.

Could you point me to a live example (ie, an event on your WordPress site and the corresponding event on Facebook)? Can you also confirm exactly what your WordPress timezone setting is – perhaps it’s a daylight saving time related issue or something of that nature (especially if you are using an offset such as UTC-x)?

Thanks. You’re a genius. It was UTC. I changed it to Chicago…

Also, I just added Pro to this site. However when I select view as Photo from the backend, I get a 404 page on /events. View as Photo does not show as an option on the front end: http://tulsaholistichealth.com/events/

Do you know why that would be?

Thanks!

Hi Andrea,

The first thing to do is visit Events → Settings → Display and double check that Photo View is enabled – even if it is, it may be worth re-saving that very page and then continue to WordPress’s Permalink Settings screen: you don’t need to change anything here, however, as simply visiting this screen “flushes” various rules.

Last but not least, if you have a caching plugin enabled please clear the cache. Hopefully the photo view will then work as expected — but if not, please simply post a new topic here on the forums and one of the team will be happy to assist further (however as we try hard to stick to one issue per topic I will at this point close out this one).

Thanks again!
