Wrong Dates and Times

[Wendy]

We have been working on our calendar since August/September and have yet to get it to work properly. We have updated the plugins check for conflicts, etc. With the update it said to deactivate the iCal importer so I have done that. All our events keep importing with the wrong times/dates (usually when the time goes past midnight then it is the wrong date as well). We are more than frustrated and have spent way too much time trying to make this work. Can you help? I can give you the xml and ics files and you can see that what is in the xml is not getting imported correctly. It seems there should be some setting to check, but I have not found it and I have checked and unchecked all the settings I could find and re-import each time to see if it fixed it and it is not. We are a non-profit school and we need the calendar up and running. We are wondering if we should punt…

Thanks,
Lisa

Hey Lisa,

I’m sorry for the trouble with our plugins and am glad to help here.

One thing you mentioned in your post really stood out to me:

usually when the time goes past midnight then it is the wrong date as well

☝️ With this in mind, the first thing I would recommend here is to head to Events → Settings in your site’s wp-admin and try changing the “End of day cutoff” option.

If you push this back to, say, 2am or 3am, and then test importing some events whose dates tend to get pushed ahead like you report here, does anything improve?

Thank you!
George
