I have an event in the Pacific time zone starting at 8:00am Pacific. I have built the event from a site in the Mountain Time zone and specified a venue in the Pacific time zone, but the iCal link on the registration approved email loads the event at 7:00am. The WordPress Settings are set to a Mountain time zone city.
Any ideas if/how to set the time for a venue or is that automatic for the location? Any help appreciated.

Hi there,
We don’t currently have an option to set timezones per event/venue, EE should use the timezone set within Dashboard -> Settings -> General -> Timezone for all date/times.
Is the iCal the only output that is not correct? For example are the datetimes shown on the front end correct?

Yes, everything is correct except the iCal.

Hi,
One day, Event Espresso could have a multiple timezone feature. Until then, work-arounds exist to work around the lack of multiple timezone features. One workaround you could use would be to set a custom field on the event located in the Pacific timezone. e.g. set the key as
event_timezone and value Pacific, like in this screenshot:

Then, you’ll add the following PHP code to your site:

You can add the above to a functions plugin, this documentation shows how to do that.
What that will do is add a one hour offset on ical times for events that set Pacific for that custom field.
