I am following up on this post<\/a> to see if and where it is at on the radar.<\/p>\n

As mentioned in the previous discussion, the issue is present on the demo site. Run these two events through the Structured Data Testing<\/a> tool and you will clearly see the issue.<\/p>\n

Since the last discussion, my work-around stopped working as desired. I am not sure where the break occurred. I have since updated WordPress, PHP versions, and TEC. So I went back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n

My new snippet abandons the use of TEC’s Tribe__Date_Utils in favor of PHP’s datetime class. Also, instead of outputting it in ISO-8601 format, I went with the local timezone format. This is mentioned on Google’s<\/a> help. This also follows the format that Ticketmaster seems to be using. In research, Eventbrite uses the ISO format, but I had to choose one over the other.<\/p>\n

So here’s the new revised snippet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

function tribe_modify_json_ld_event_dates ( $_data, $args, $event ) {<\/p>\n

\/\/\tMove away from TEC Date Util using local timezone, like Ticketmaster and Google.
\n\t$_data->startDate = date_create( tribe_get_start_date( $event->ID, true, DateTime::ATOM ) )->setTimezone( new DateTimeZone( 'America\/Chicago' ) )->format( \"Y-m-d H:i\" );
\n\t$_data->endDate = date_create( tribe_get_end_date( $event->ID, true, DateTime::ATOM ) )->setTimezone( new DateTimeZone( 'America\/Chicago' ) )->format( \"Y-m-d H:i\" );<\/p>\n

return $_data;
\n}
\nadd_filter( 'tribe_json_ld_event_object','tribe_modify_json_ld_event_dates', 10, 3 );<\/p>\n

<\/code><\/p>\n

Back to the original question.
