Incorrect recurrence dates

[Sam Davis]

When adding a recurring event the the subsequent recurring events are set to the wrong date. Specifically the day before what I chose. This does not happen for all day events.

My timezones settings are set to “Use the sitewide timezone everywhere”.

Hi, Sam.

Could you please make sure all your Modern Tribe plugins (and WordPress core) are at their latest versions?

• Downloads / Version Numbers
• License Keys
• TEC Automatic Updates
• or TEC Manual Updates
• WordPress core updates

Once you verify you’re on the latest versions, please test to see if the issue is still happening for you (when creating a new event).

Thanks for getting back to me.

I just went through and made sure everything was updated. The issue is still persisting for me, however.

Any other thoughts?

Sorry to hear that. Here’s a video demonstrating how this works in the weekly recurrence UI: https://cl.ly/3L1s0L47390n

Please send a screen capture video of what you’re experiencing at your site.

Thank you.

Thanks for sending through that screen cap.

It’s not quite what I’m experiencing. Here’s a screen recording of what’s happening from my end.

Here’s a GIF of me not being able to reproduce that issue: https://cl.ly/1b0I3G1P372O

Please follow our Testing for Conflicts Guide (basically switch to Twenty Seventeen theme and deactivate all plugins and custom code other than Modern Tribe plugins) and see if that helps narrow down the cause of this.

Of course, we always recommend restorable database and file backups before modifying anything on your site.

Worked it out!

Once I disabled my theme it was working properly. I worked out that the issue came from a line of code that was explicitly setting the PHP timezone to Sydney Australia. I guess it plays around with what TEC is expecting? This was the code:

<?php date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Sydney'); ?>

The line is removed and everything is working as expected now ? Thanks!

Ah, yes, that would affect things. Good find!
