Recurring Events showing wrong date in Google Calendar

I’ve added links to google calendar and iCal. It works fine on regular events, but on recurring events, when you click add to Google calendar it shows the date as being in the future.

Hello L,

Have you set up your time zone in both WordPress and Google calendar to be on the same time zone?

I don’t think it’s an issue with the timezone. I scheduled the event as being all day long and it occurs weekly.

The event date is July 9, 2012 but in Google Calendar it shows up as 11/11/2013 to 7/9/2012

Hi L,

This is very strange. I can get higher level support involved, but first we need to rule out all the most common possibilities of things that cause these errors.

Can you confirm with me you’ve done all the following (in addition to making sure and confirming with me you’ve set up your time zones to be the same in both WordPress and in Google calendar), and that doing all of these has not fixed your issue?

1. Are you running the latest version of WordPress?
2. Are you running the latest versions of our plugins (2.0.7)?
3. Have you tried deactivating all other plugins to rule out a conflict?
4. Have you tried reverting to the Twenty Eleven theme to see if it’s something with your theme?
5. Try setting your permalinks to ‘postname’ in Settings > Permalinks?
6. Try refreshing your permalinks by visiting Settings > Permalinks (it does it automatically)?
7. Try increasing the PHP memory for your website: http://www.dailyblogging.org/wordpress/increase-wordpress-memory-limit/?

I will also have a look around to see if other users have had this problem, and if a solution has been posted already.

Thanks!

Joyce

Hello L, I have searched the forums and the closest thing to your problem that I could find was this one: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/ical-google-calendar-timezone-is-gmt/#post-19458 which was fixed by correcting the time zone settings. The other Google calendar issues were related to an error and also to not being up to date with the latest versions of all plugins and add-ons of ours.

Hopefully we’ll get this solved for you! Just thought I’d give you that insight!

The time zone is set to los angeles in WordPress. And it’s set to Pacific Time in Google Calendar.

I tried the import to ical button, then loaded that into google calendar and it was the correct date. It’s only the link that goes to google calendar that shows the wrong date, and only on recurring events.

I also upgraded to the latest version, disabled all other plugins, etc. I tried installing the plugins on a default wordpress install, and the google calendar always goes to today’s current date.

Joyce, I see some of the issue. It seems the $endDate is being set to the created date and not $endDate = $eventPost->EventEndDate as it’s done in the iCalFeed function.

I’m certain there’s more to it than that but it a good place to start. I found this out by view the ics file created from the same event.

Thanks so much Andy for your input on this. I will ask the team to have a look since this goes a little outside my technical ability. Sorry for the wait L!
