Timezone Defaults to UTC instead of Site-Wide Europe/Berlin and seem unsorted
-
Hi,
we have just updated WordPress to most recent version and switched from PHP 7.1 to PHP 7.4. In addition, of course, we updated the Events Calendar Plugin.
Different to before, when creating new events, the timezone selector is now set to “UTC” always. This is especially irritating for “whole day” events, as they are suddenly displayed to range 2 days instead of just one. So, obviously, in display the correct local time-zone is considered.
Unsorted Which makes it worse: The timezones seem sorted rather randomly. If you search for Berlin, it will appear near the bottom of the list:
Melbourne
Perth
Sidney
Amsterdam
Andorra
…
Berlin
…The problem: The timezones are grouped by Australia, Europe etc., just as they are grouped in global timezone setting in WordPress. But in Events Calendar the continents are not displayed, providing no guidance.
Both bugs increase the severity and make the calendar pretty unusable ??
Note, that I have chosen site-wide timezones to take (and it is set to Europe/Berlin).
Interesting: If you switch display of time-zones on in editor, it will be displayed as “Europe/Berlin” but the field settings will tell, it is “UTC”.
This issue seems similar to many other issues out there… but all of them seem to be “closed”. Examples:
