Time Changes Not Staying After Update

I’ve been trying to change the event times to 8am-4:30pm EST. However, after I make those changes, it will revert to something different (its not consistent). The first time it reverted back to 3am-1:30am, I changed it again and now it reverted back to 5pm-1:30am.

I did do some poking around and noticed that in the system information there is no value listed for use_event_timezones. Should I add that item =1? Has anyone else had issues with times jumping around?

I just tried changing another event to start: 8am endtime: 2pm. After updating via WordPress the setting changes to 3am-9am.

Also, here’s what I’m running:
WordPress Version:
4.1
PHP Version:
5.4.33
MySQL Version:
5.5.40
Event Espresso Version:
4.4.7.p
WordPress Address (URL):
http://teamqualityservices.com

Hi gkenens,

This usually happens when a plugin (or the theme) is using the function date_default_timezone_set() which is highly discouraged.

Start by creating a backup of the site (just to be safe) then try disabling all non-EE plugins and setup your event dates/time, does it now correctly save?

If it does activate each plugin individually and resave the event inbetween to find the plugin that is causing it.

If not switch the a default theme such as twentyfourteen and retry again.

You can read more about date_default_timezone_set() here:

Tony,

Thank you for the prompt response. I had two other event management plugins that I had recently installed. After I removed those plug-ins, everything seems to be working properly.

Thanks for your help!
