    Hi!

    Thanks so much for a great plugin. I am trying to create my first giveaway and running into time problems.

    I live in Minnesota, United State CST. I have my WP settings set to this time zone and I am viewing the Giveaway page in this time zone.

    In my WP settings > General > Universal time is 2021-02-22 01:29:37. Local time is 2021-02-21 19:29:37. This is correct.

    When I go to Giveaway > Scheduling

    The format used here is Day-Month-Year

    Start Date
    21-02-2021
    Start Time
    00:00
    End Date
    23-02-2021
    End Time
    00:00
    Winner Announcement Date
    25-02-2021
    Winner Announcement Time
    19:00
    Remind subscribers (days)
    1
    Remind subscribers a few days before the end of the giveaway. Leave 0 to not remind. Example: add 1 to remind users 1 day before the end.`

    But on the giveaway page: https://randisadventures.com/giveaway/glamourous-glamping-rv-wall-decor/ it says ENDS:
    February 23, 2021 6:00 Am UTC-06:00

    Shouldn’t the end date be midnight on the 23rd? (End Date
    23-02-2021
    End Time
    00:00)

    The giveaway page says the giveaway ends: WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT:
    February 26, 2021 1:00 Am UTC-06:00

    Based on my scheduling time set shouldn’t the announcement time be at 2/25/2021 at 7:00 PM?

    Thanks so much for your help and support!

    Hi @randit, that’s correct. I am working on a new version of the plugin which should go out in a few days and fix this issue as well.

    That is super great news @ibenic! Will you let me know when it is updated? I am hoping to use your plugin for a YouTube channel promotional giveaway. THANK YOU!
