Events are being imported correctly for our site and, when looking at the event editing details on the admin side, display the correct start and end times. However, all of the events are off by one hour. It seems that although the events being imported have the timezone set correctly to EST, The Events Calendar is displaying them as “America\/Tortola” instead of “America\/New York”. Since Tortola does not observe daylight savings time, all of the events are being displayed off by one hour.<\/p>\n

Under Settings > General, I have the timezone set to “New York”. Under Events > Settings, timezone mode is set to “Use sitewide timezones everywhere”. We currently have two iCal calendars being imported; one with no timezone information set and one with the timezone information correctly set. The one with no timezone information set is correctly displaying the time for all events, but the one with the timezone set is off by one hour. Again, when I look at the edit event details for one of these events the timezone is being displayed as “America\/Tortola”. Below is the timezone information and an event from the actual iCal feed:<\/p>\n
