calendar time showing 4 hours from google event time

  • I updated to Version 2.5.1 a few days ago. Now all my events are off by +4 hours.

    I had this issue previously but it was resolved by updating the settings time zone to New_York

    My import settings are set as follows:
    Feed URL:
    https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/phsdirector%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics
    Allow comments: No
    Show map: No
    Keep original events categories and tags: No
    On refresh, preserve previously imported events that are missing from the feed: No
    Assign default time zone to events in UTC: Yes

    +++++++++++++++++
    My timezone is set to New_York & the box is checked for –
    Display events in calendar time zone
    If this box is checked events will appear in the calendar time zone with time zone information displayed on the event details page.

    +++++++
    I refreshed my import feed and when looking at an event – it is showing

    When:
    June 14, 2016 @ 8:30 pm – 11:45 pm
    ALL current 8th-11th grade marching band members should plan to perform for our commencement ceremony.

    This is just an example – this event imported +4 hours (shows 4:30-7:45 on google calendar)

    HELP!!!

    every time time.ly refreshes the google calendar feed (google calendar set to Eastern (New York)), the events are showing +4 hrs later than on google.

    I have to login as the admin and set the time.ly timezone to UTC (or something) and then reset it to Anchorage to offset the time difference for what it should be.

    +++++++++++++++++++

    New temporary workaround – I hope

    I changed the time.ly timezone to match the google calendar feed timezone (New York). All the events imported (refreshed) and showing the correct event time in the “all events” view.

    I had to change the WP system timezone to Anchorage for this to work. So my WP site thinks it is Anchorage and the events are showing the correct time now. The google refresh is pulling the events and storing the events in the real time for the events.

    Universal time (UTC) is 2016-06-17 01:26:55. Local time is 2016-06-16 17:26:55.

    Event example –

    Football vs.Easton
    When:
    November 24, 2016 @ 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
    Where:
    Lafayette College, 630 Parsons St, Easton, PA 18042, United States

    it appears that the google import is using the WP general settings timezone as part of the import function. The import function shows the following message during the refresh

    Selected timezone “UTC-4” will be treated as America/New_York.

    Again, on every import, the events are importing +4hrs from the actual google event time.

    So now on the refresh, the events are once again showing +4 hrs and displaying in the front-end as +4 hrs from the actual google event time.

    I’m not sure what changed on the import or timezone function which is causing this again.
