It seems to have appeared after we updated to iCal Importer 4.1.2<\/p>\n<p>I have checked both the client&#8217;s Office 365 calendar and the WP settings and Event Calendar settings to confirm that the correct timezone is shown everywhere. U.S. Eastern timezone is properly set. In reading the forum post relating to the iCal Importer update, I noticed the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tweak:<\/strong> Removed use of the <code>date_default_timezone_set<\/code> function. It\u2019s used in so many other plugins and themes that it was creating some conflicts where it might be used inconsistently.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if this is what is causing our current problem. This combined with the fact that no one seems to be able to figure out a solution to the duplication of updated events on sites hosted on WP Engine is making it really hard for me to continue promoting The Events Calendar to my clients.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance for your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1116045","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>Events displaying as 4 hours earlier than imported events -<\/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\/events-displaying-as-4-hours-earlier-than-imported-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Events displaying as 4 hours earlier than imported events -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We are having the same problems as Donna on a client site.
