Timezone Issue

[paulhazon]

It appears that my Events Calendar plugin is reading the time as UTC, but I am in the Pacific timezone (UTC-8). As a result, my week views are switching to the next week 8 hours early. I’ve tried setting my timezone in WP as ‘Vancouver’ and also as ‘UTC-8’. Neither of these options make a difference. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

Hi Paul,

This looks like a bug and I have filed a report so we can address it in an upcoming release.

In the meantime, if you’re comfortable doing so, you could try adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or else to a custom plugin:

function temp_fix_42765( $date ) {
	global $wp_query;

	if ( ! empty( $wp_query->get( 'eventDate' ) ) )
		return $date;

	if ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX )
		return $date;

	try {
		$week_start = new DateTime( current_time( 'Y-m-d' ) );
		$offset = 7 - get_option( 'start_of_week', 0 );
		$week_start->modify( - ( ( $week_start->format( 'w' ) + $offset ) % 7 ) . 'days' );
	}
	catch ( Exception $e ) {
		return $date;
	}

	return $week_start->format( 'Y-m-d' );
}

add_filter( 'tribe_get_first_week_day', 'temp_fix_42765' );

That should provide temporary relief … if not, we can always wait out on a substantive fix in a future release (and of course we’ll do our best to post an update here in this forum topic when that is available) 🙂

Thanks for reporting this and our apologies for any inconvenience it has caused.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this issue. We weren’t able to get a fix for it into our upcoming release (4.1). However, please know that the problem is still on our radar and is ticketed within our system to be addressed in a future maintenance release. We’ll do our best to keep you posted when we are able to get a solution in place. Thank you for your patience while we improve and expand our plugins.

Best,
Leah
