Hi there,

If all the event times changed, this would usually be from a change to the WordPress timezone settings. Can you check your WordPress timezone settings (in WP > Settings General)? Are they set to use a city in the same timezone as yours?

Yes they were set correctly. It was -5 since we are in Eastern, as a quick fix I just temporarily set the time to -4 so that anyone looking at my site would see the correct time.

Hi, was it a UTC setting or was a region / city near you?

It was a UTC setting. I had it set to UTC-5 for about a month with no problems. I tried setting it to Indianapolis and it did not fix the problem. A couple of past events the start time moved from 6:30 to 1:30, very strange.

Hi, thanks for the update on the issue. We recommend using a city or region based timezone setting with Event Espresso.

Do you have any other date-related plugins on your site such as a booking or appointment system?

No, I do not have any other date plugins. I will set it to Indianapolis tonight and see if it updates overnight.
