Well actually, I have the other timezone setting currently enabled: Use local timezones for each event
I changed it to that setting in November 2015 because (in Alberta) we are a week late going into daylight savings and all my events were an hour off. See my post: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/can-i-turn-back-update-timezone-settings/
It was in November that I also stopped receiving notifications when someone posts an event (community add-on) but I didn’t connect the two issues (and no that issue has not been resolved). Perhaps unrelated.
Anyway, I will try switching it (although it’s the opposite of what you said).
Please do keep me posted!
Does the other thread sound like the same issue to you? It seems to describe the same thing and I was able to replicate the issue the way it was reported there.

The other post is similar yes ….. so I’m looking up daylight savings time and it was March 8th 2015 …. I was thinking it had something to do with that …. which is when my problems started in November.
And, for the recurring events, anything after march/april 2016 has the wrong time, it’s an hour early. So after daylight savings, all my recurring events are wrong.
I don’t know if this is the same problem or a different problem.
We also noticed the following:
– Setting the recurring event to a past start date will show 404 for all the duration period.
– However, if we set the start date to today or to a future date, all the recurring events work.You are welcome to do whatever testing you would like on the TEST site, not the live site:
http://test.totallyairdrie.com/I will be interesting to see what happens on March-13-2016 when the clock moves forward; if will I need to change my time zone mode again…
I see that some places have different dates for the clock change:

I wonder if it would make a difference if you switched your timezone from America/Edmonton to the UTC equivalent (UTC-7). That might add more consistency to have the timezone is handled and allow you to create new recurring events that link properly.
Thanks Geoff, I haven’t had a chance to test the recurring events again, however, I did notice that the clock on the wp-page-editor was 7 hours off; e.g. I was editing the text on a page and decided to restore a previous edit and it said the edit was completed 7 hours ago – and as soon as I changed to UTC-7 it changed to the correct time.

Oh weird! Do you think that there could be something funky with the global site settings that could be interfering?
If you’re able to create export your database and send it to me here via Dropbox link as a private reply, I’d be happy to try it out on my test site to see if I can replicate the issue from there.

Unfortunately it didn’t help the recurring events problem.
Will send a copy of the DB tomorrow.
Thank you

Hmmmm …. I had not noticed this before …
Event Settings >> General
Timezone Settings
Enable timezone support Update Timezone Data
Click this button to update your database and take advantage of additional timezone capabilities. Please configure WordPress to use the correct timezone before clicking this button!That button will pop up if there is conflicting timezone data on the site. Let’s try this:
- Please re-save your timezone settings in WordPress (Settings > General)
- Return to the Events > Settings screen to click that button to enable the timezone settings
- Set the calendar timezone settings as follows and save your settings: https://cloudup.com/ciRccadBvEO
- Create a new recurring event
- Visit the /all/ page for that event
- Do the links work?
Let’s see what we find. 🙂
