Hi Cliff,

When I change my WordPress site settings to either New York or UTC-5 (I believe the Eastern Time), the times are way off. The only way the times stay correct is if it’s set to UTC+0, which isn’t right.

Any thoughts?

I tried to force the Events Calendar to use ‘America/New York’ time with the github code, but I don’t see a change on the app at least.

More importantly, I changed my Events Settings to use the sitewide timezone and when I change my site timezone under the General settings to ‘New York’ the times are completely off. Do you know why this would occur? I’d like to force it to use the Eastern time zone but when I select New York with UTC-5, the times are not even close to Eastern.

Hi,

“Ultimately, it’s best if you contact the source of the iCal file and get them to specify the time zone correctly.”

Is there a way to specify an Eastern time zone in the calendar iCal url https://www.fbcsudbury.org/events/?ical=1? I agree that it would be best if the app source could specify the correct time zone, but they are just going off what is supplied in the iCal feed. I believe the problem is that our website is typically accessed on the Eastern time zone, but the app is hosted in California on Pacific, so when it’s given to the app, it’s Pacific. If there isn’t a way to specify it in the URL, I can try the git hub change, but wanted to check ahead of time.

Thanks,
Chelsea

Ah, no problem. Here is a link to it on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/ZyTR3M7p.
