I create events in Facebook then use the importer to put them on the website calendar. The events show in on the calendar on our website correctly, but when Google crawls the events and displays them in search results the events are off by 1 day.

See screenshots:

previous thread on this issue – https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/google-search-crawlingdisplaying-incorrect-date-from-plugins-json/

Any help correcting this issue would be greatly appreciated, our customers are complaining that they don’t know when the correct event days are due to this bug.

Thank You.

Hi Jayson,

I see the issue and I’m sorry you are having this.

I checked and this bug was fixed in the 4.2.4 version. I see you are already using that version of the plugin, that’s good.

Could be that google needs to re-index your site to get the updated data.
Here is a guide from google on how you can force a re-index:

Meanwhile, I will make a round with this internally to see if there is still someone else with this issue.

Cheers,
Andras

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
