Changing the time zone that is set in the event post from America\/New York to America\/Los Angeles moves the incorrect event time forward 3 hours as expected. I did notice that if the time zone for the event is set to UTC+0, the time is correct when imported into Outlook.<\/p>\n<p>This is happening both in the Twenty Fourteen theme with The Events Calendar being the only plugin activated and in custom themes with many plugins and Events Calendar add-ons. We&#8217;re experiencing this on both single event and multiple event iCal files. And since the issue was originally reported by a client, I know it&#8217;s not just a problem with how our Outlook is set up.<\/p>\n<p>I saw a lot of issues with iCal exported times when I searched your support forums, but none seemed to match up exactly. I also saw a couple issues reported on general iCal\/Outlook compatibility in regard to time zones in Google searches.<\/p>\n<p>Any ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1095012","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>iCal Timezone Issue with Microsoft Outlook -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/ical-timezone-issue-with-microsoft-outlook\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"iCal Timezone Issue with Microsoft Outlook -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We&#8217;re having an issue on every site of ours I&#8217;ve checked that runs the plugin where, when the iCal file is imported into Microsoft Outlook, the event&#8217;s start and end times are one hour later than what they should be.
