As best I can tell, this is NOT a plugin conflict issue.

No other event/calendar related plugins within our site.

The problem seems to be directly related to GMT offset.

What would the theme have to do with altering the event times?
You already have confirmation from @correiar with the EXACT SAME PROBLEM!

If I save the original entry and then make changes, the second time around retains the “altered” times instead those I had originally entered.

Yes, I have tried the manual offset within WordPress Settings General tab. Has same results.

WordPress Dashboard:
Activity
Recently Published {shows post published on the site with link to edit of post)

Please define “built-in WordPress searches”.

Are you speaking of the shortcode [event_search_form] or similar?

If so, this does not help. By “Default WordPress Search”, I am speaking of the standard search available within WordPress BEFORE adding Events Manager.

As for events “searched under Events > Events in admin”, this involves constantly “diving” into the admin areas instead of it showing on the Main Dashboard like so many other tools now do (ex: Google Analytics, Posts, WordPress News, etc.).

If someone is using your plugin as the primary publishing of “posts” (e.g. events), it would be EXTREMELY NICE to have those show on the main dashboard similar to Posts (default). IMHO.

Are you saying that YOU have been able to get the events content to show up in the DEFAULT search of WordPress (not the Events search)?

Also, are you saying that you have been able to get the events posts to show up within the WordPress main Dashboard somehow?

We have the EXACT same problem at https://www.BrownandThigpenAuctions.com.

Having the events show up in:

• Searches
• Dashboard

would be THE BEST WAY to enable WordPress Admins to utilize/manage the content created via Events Manager within WordPress. IMHO.
