Google snippet dates

[oceanfit]

Hi guys

I’ve read every forum post related to this, but none of them have an answer by TEC as to how to fix it.

The event dates that show up in Google search results as event snippets are one day out from the actual event dates as displayed on the front end event page.

i.e. event date is Sat 7 October 2017 (set in event admin and displaying on front-end), but Google is displaying it as Fri 6 October 2017.

http://oceanfit.com.au/event/learn-to-ocean-swim-clinic-071017as/

When I put the same event page through Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool, it shows the event dates incorrect:

startDate 2017-10-06T20:00:00+00:00
endDate 2017-10-06T23:00:00+00:00

I have the correct timezone setting in WordPress settings (Sydney, Australia), and the Timezone Settings in the Events settings is set to “Use Local Time Zones For Each Event”.

From what I understand, this means the schema dates TEC is creating are set in a certain time zone, and it’s not picking up the timezone set by the event.

Hi, Andre.

Looking at the source code of that URL, I see this JSON-LD data:

`<script type=”application/ld+json”>[{“@context”:”http://schema.org&#8221;,”@type”:”Event”,”name”:”Learn to ocean swim”,…,”url”:”http://oceanfit.com.au/event/learn-to-ocean-swim-clinic-071017as/&#8221;,”startDate”:”2017-10-06T20:00:00+00:00″,”endDate”:”2017-10-06T23:00:00+00:00″,”location”:{…</script>`

Therefore, Google is reading your event page correctly.

Could you please send me a screenshot of this event’s start and end date settings?
