Users can change predictions once match has started

    Hello Antoine,

    I have noticed that users can change predictions after the match has started, but before it is closed. I have a delay of 900 seconds, which should force predictions 15 mins before the match starts but it doesn’t seem to be working. I have also used the extension to hide closed matches, but that hasn’t help, I guess because the match is not closed yet?

    I also see that after the match has started, the countdown clock starts counting up. I have used the ‘next’ parameter, which does work but not while the current match remains open?

    Hopefully, that makes sense?

    You have to check your time(zone) settings. Please check the help page, it contains tips how to resolve this.

    Fantastic, that has helped.

    I set my site to UTC+0 and the plugin to the same and the live game has disappeared.

    However, the countdown is still counting up from the start time of the game that’s currently on? I am using this:

    [fp-countdown match=”next” texts=” ;? ; ; “]

    Match: (1) Turkey - Italy
Match date (database, should be UTC): 2021-06-11 20:00:00
Match date (local): 2021-06-11 20:00
Match timestamp (database, should be UTC): 1623441600

    Appreciate your help.

    Looks like the times in the database are wrong. Those have to be entered in UTC times. Then you can set your timezone setting in WP to a correct value (e.g. Amsterdam, I prefer the city names instead of the number offset).

    Correct output of the script (for timezone Amsterdam) is:

    Match: (1) Turkey - Italy
Match date (database, should be UTC): 2020-06-11 19:00:00
Match date (local): 2020-06-11 21:00

    Perfect. All sorted now. Thanks again.

    Enjoy the tournament!

    Hoi Antoine,

    Ik kwam erachter dat ik ook de verkeerde tijden ingevoerd had bij de wedstrijden. Ipv utc tijden had ik gewoon lokale tijden ingevoerd.
    Nu aangepast en wordpress tijdinstelling op Amsterdam gezet.
    Nu zie ik echter bij wedstrijden gewoon de utc tijden staan. Is dat aan te passen naar de lokale tijden?

    Check even je plugin settings. Daar heb je een optie voor tijdweergave. Die moet op de WP timezone setting staan.
