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 I am using Version 3.1.31.1 And running WordPress 3.5.1 Does anyone have any advice?

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! | |
