I set a recurring event running from (say) 1000 to 1200, every day, from 15th March to 15th April. All is fine until 28th March when British time flips over into BST and gains an hour. My event on 29th March apparently runs from 0900 to 1100 which is NOT a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>I have WordPress set to &#8220;London&#8221; time (I tried changing this manually as an experiment to UTC+1 as suggested in thread https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/wrong-date-time-set-to-utc-0\/ but it made no difference &#8211; in any case having to change timezones manually is so 1980s.)<\/p>\n<p>I have set EC Pro to &#8220;Use the local timezones for each event&#8221; and (ticked) Show timezone.<\/p>\n<p>(by the way I am retrospectively adding a 2015 calendar, this is not a mistake. The principle carries over to this and future years).<\/p>\n<p>Before the time flip, it shows &#8220;28 March 2015 @ 10:00 &#8211; 12:00 GMT |Recurring Event (See all)&#8221;<br \/>\nAfer the hour changes, it shows &#8220;29 March 2015 @ 09:00 &#8211; 11:00 GMT |Recurring Event (See all)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; for the SAME DAILY EVENT.<\/p>\n<p>What it needs to show is &#8220;29 March 2015 @ 10:00 &#8211; 12:00 BST |Recurring Event (See all)&#8221; or &#8220;29 March 2015 @ 10:00 &#8211; 12:00 GMT+1 |Recurring Event (See all)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>in other words, the TIMES which have been set must be sacrosanct, and must be displayed.<\/p>\n<p>If I need to change any settings to get this working please let me know where to look. My wordpress installation is aware that my &#8220;local time&#8221; is correct. It says on its general settings page:<\/p>\n<p>Universal time (GMT) is 2016-10-03 13:34:27. Local time is 2016-10-03 14:34:27.<br \/>\nThis timezone is currently in daylight saving time.<br \/>\nStandard time begins on: 30th October 2016 2:00 am.<\/p>\n<p>So if WordPress knows when the time flip occurs, EC Pro can presumably find that out and make the necessary adjustments to the displayed time. This is a major issue for me since I have committed to launching the new calendar in the next 2 weeks &#8230;. just before the hour is going to change once more!!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m running on a development server right now so not possible to access the site yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1171797","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>EC Pro not handling GMT to BST transition correctly -<\/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\/ec-pro-not-handling-gmt-to-bst-transition-correctly\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"EC Pro not handling GMT to BST transition correctly -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I&#8217;ve just upgraded to EC Pro specifically to use recurring events.
