I am trying to set the time to the Eastern Time Zone. Specifically America/New_York but no matter what I do the time still shows as Central Time. I want the time to always reflect the time that the page is updated. I would truly appreciate any assistance with this!
I have it set as [current_date format=’l, F j, Y, g: i A’] – thank you for any & all help!

Kindest regards,

I have the same loop on that page twice, with the first (today) having [loop type=class field="wpcf-class-date-time" value="today" order="ASC" orderby="field_num" key="wpcf-class-date-time"] and the second (future) having [loop type=class field="wpcf-class-date-time" value="future" order="ASC" orderby="field_num" key="wpcf-class-date-time"]
At the time I’m writing this, it’s 5:00am on October 17, 2015 EST, but there are classes (posts) showing in the future block which should show in the today block.
I’m guessing this has something to do with GMT offset. I noted that the timestamp for a class set to 10am today has a timestamp of 1445076000 which is Sat, 17 Oct 2015 10:00:00 GMT/UTC, which is not actually correct. The timestamp should evaluate to Sat, 17 Oct 2015 10:00:00 EDT.
So maybe this is more of a problem with the Types plugin, but I wanted to know if there was a workaround for Custom Content Shortcode.

]]>I am having challenges with the incorrect times being shown. I have the times and the timezone set properly in Facebook events, but the widget is showing an hour later for the event. I have two events set for 2-6p PST. But the widget is showing 3-7p. (I am located in EST, but that shouldn’t make a difference as we are actually 3 hours off, not 1 hour off).
Can you assist?
Thanks!

I want is to display:

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You need to go to a website that provides the time zones for the world. Here is one link:
Find the name of the city (usually the capital city) for your time zone area, click the city name and the next page provides the information.
Look for:
“UTC/GMT Offset”
It will show something like the following (example is for my time zone)
Standard time zone: UTC/GMT -8 hours
No daylight saving time at the moment
Time zone abbreviation: PST – Pacific Standard Time
Then get the offset number, mine was “-8” and enter it into WordPress management area:
Options – General – “Date and Time” – “Times in the blog should differ by”
A box provides for the data entry of that offset number. Then I suggest to make a note in one of the side column titles that the time zone is…”(Time Zone Abbreviation)”, or if you can add it to the time stamp PHP code. This way people know which time zone you are working in.
Another good link, where you click a letter that specifies a major city in the time Zone for your area is:
