Daylight Savings Time

  • Hello. Thank you for this product.

    Our WordPress is set to New York Time Zone as we’re in Eastern Time Zone. When our managers input events that are after Nov 3 (Daylight Saving Time cutoff) we have to offset the event in the backend by one hour to have it show on the front end at the correct time. Are we missing a setting or can you give us a recommendation how to fix that so the back end matches the front end for items after daylight savings time ends. Thank you very much for any help. Great product!

    Events should always show with the value that is input when you create the event, no matter the relationship to DST. This suggests to me that there’s something up with your server’s use of time in MySQL. My Calendar expects the MySQL server to be using UTC, and things can get a bit strange if it doesn’t. If you go to My Calendar > Help > Get Support, what’s shown for the “DB UTC Offset” value?

    If necessary, there’s a filter that you can use to manipulate the offset if your database is reporting something unexpected: https://joedolson.github.io/my-calendar/mc_filter_offset.html

    Hi @joedolson ,
    I created an event starting on November 2nd at 11:00 in the morning and repeated this event for 5 months. All following events show a start time of 12:00 in “Showing Planned Events” when look at the event. But when I display a calendar they are shown as 11:00. This is confusing.

    If I go to My Calendar > Help > Get Support it shows
    DB UTC Offset: +02:00
    Will above mentioned filter help with my problem and how do I apply it?

    Newbie
