When I attempt to edit an event from the Event Overview Screen I receive this error message:
Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘DateTimeZone::__construct() [<a href=’datetimezone.–construct’>datetimezone.–construct</a>]: Unknown or bad timezone (UTC-6)’ in /home/content/22/8813822/html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/includes/functions/time_date.php:534 Stack trace: #0 /home/content/22/8813822/html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/includes/functions/time_date.php(534): DateTimeZone->__construct(‘UTC-6’) #1 /home/content/22/8813822/html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/includes/event-management/edit_event.php(500): eventespresso_ddtimezone(‘1’) #2 /home/content/22/8813822/html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/includes/event-management/index.php(95): edit_event(‘1’) #3 [internal function]: event_espresso_manage_events(”) #4 /home/content/22/8813822/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(406): call_user_func_array(‘event_espresso_…’, Array) #5 /home/content/22/8813822/html/wp-admin/admin.php(151): do_action(‘event-espresso_…’) #6 {main} thrown in /home/content/22/8813822/html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/includes/functions/time_date.php on line 534
The Event Timezone is set to UTC-6
other pertinent data shown is:
UTC time is 2013-04-18 12:25:30
Local time is 2013-04-18 6:25:30
This timezone is currently in standard time.
I am using Version 3.1.31.1
And running WordPress 3.5.1
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks

As an update, if I disable custom timezones then the page renders without errors.
I have confirmed that I my general setting timezone is set to Chicago.

Okay I have now resolved this issue. Here is what I discovered.
What I did to cause the issue:
Originally I had created 4 events with my wordpress systems timezone set to UTC-6.
I then enabled custom timezones. I then created an event in London timezone.
This event worked great. All my previous events then error-ed out as described.
What i did to fix the issue:
1. I changed my WordPress system timezone to Chicago having seen the warning about UTC settings.
2. I then turned off custom timezones.
3. I then opened each of the previous event, and resaved them – this caused the timezone to be reset to Chicago from UTC-6.
4. I then re-enabled custom time zones and everything is happy.
So the moral of the story is you must never use UTC timezone settings!!

Hey,
Sorry for the delay in responding, but glad that you worked things out, and yes UTC timezones are a no no!
