I need to update the timezone of all my 300 events (I recently activated the event calendar&#8217;s &#8220;Timezone Mode&#8221;). Is there a way to do this automatically or in bulk? <\/p>\n<p>I was thinking that since each event has an address (city, state, country), wouldn&#8217;t it be possible to automatically update the timezone information based on the city, country or state? I understand that since some countries are set on multiple timezones, this wouldn&#8217;t be possible to update a timezone only based on the country information (ex: China, Russia, US, Canada, Australia, Brazil, etc). But for events taking place in &#8220;smaller countries&#8221; like Germany, Italy, France, Japan, etc, (countries with only one timezone), wouldn&#8217;t it be possible to automatically link country names (ex: Germany) to a specific timezone (ex: Berlin)? In this case, all events with an address in Germany, would be associated to the timezone &#8220;Europe\/Berlin&#8221; (even if the event is taking place in Munich or Frankfort, which are on the same timezone as Berlin).<br \/>\nIn this situation, exceptions would be listed as &#8220;please, update timezone manually for the following countries&#8221; (ex: China, Russia, US, Canada, Australia, Brazil, etc), while other countries set only on one timezone could be automatically set to the timezone of their capital city (ex: Europe\/Rome, Europe\/London, Europe\/Paris, etc).<\/p>\n<p>I understand this could require some significant coding, but it would greatly simplify our lives \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, would it be possible to update timezones directly from the database? I have many events set to take place in Japan, and it would be quite time-consuming to update them one by one, when I could copy\/paste the same value for all tables.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least: how do I hide the recurring occurrences of an event in \/wp-admin\/edit.php?post_type=tribe_events ? I&#8217;m editing events from this page, and I would like to see only the single occurrence of each event (Since I need to edit each event only once, I don&#8217;t need to see all 35 occurrences of the same event in this list). As of now, I need to remember which event I already edited, so I don&#8217;t edit the same event twice (which is impossible to remember, of course).<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your guidance!<br \/>\nNick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1357594","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>Timezones: Updating event timezone in bulk -<\/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\/timezones-updating-event-timezone-in-bulk\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Timezones: Updating event timezone in bulk -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, I&#8217;m currently faced with a problem.
