4 Hour Difference Between WordPress Settings and Registration Time

Hi.

There seems to be a discrepancy between WordPress’ time settings and when the event is recorded as registered.

Is the ‘Registered’ field (as circled in the linked image: http://imgur.com/0uAedhr generated by WordPress, EventEspresso, our payment Gateway, or some other source?

Hi Hugo,

The Registered field is generated through EE but through WordPress 🙂

If you go to Event Espresso -> General Settings.
Under Organisation Settings you’ll find. Time and Date settings.

I’m going to guess its about 4 hours out based on your title 😀

You’ll see a link under it to change the setting which takes you to the WordPress Options page to set it. At a guess you’ll currently be set for UTC. You need to chose a Timezone closest to your city and NOT UTC times.

This should fix the issue.

Perhaps I am missing something.

WordPress is set to New York’s timezone: http://imgur.com/5EkEEN8

And EventEspresso is consistently displaying the time: http://imgur.com/iWuDC1p

And yet the discrepancy persists.

I don’t have access to the authorize.net account- it seems to be the only other possible culprit.

Is it possible that the ‘Registered’ field is being pulled from there?

It turns out that the time discrepancy is from a time zone setting on your server. I’m afraid there isn’t much that can be done about this by the current version of Event Espresso. The way Event Espresso uses dates and times is dependent on the server timezone being set the same. Future iterations of Event Espresso (starting with Event Espresso 4.0) will have a different system in place to record the date times and this issue will no longer happen.
