[Plugin: Simple Facebook Connect] Upcoming Events Widget date bug (8 posts)

    It's a great plugin, but there seems to be a small bug that causes it to put the wrong date for an event?

    e.g. http://www.lfns.co.uk

    shows two events, one actually set for 7th May and one for 9th May. Currently the plugin displays 8th May instead of 7th.

    Cheers, Roggie

    I'm having the same problem. My events are showing up on the site a day later than what is placed in Facebook.

    Can anybody let me know why this is happening?

    Regards

    Hi! Has an answer been found for why the upcoming events are showing up a day later on the widget than they are in facebook?

    Here is my site: http://goldparentcoaching.com/wordpress/

    As you can see all the events show up a day later on my wordpress site than the date they show in FB.

    Can anyone help? Thank you so much!

    Well...better late than never right?
    For anyone who’s having the same problem I did, I figured out how to fix this problem. Hope this helps the folks that still need it...

    The plugin ignores the timezone you set in your wordpress configuration. Instead, it looks at the timezone of the database WP is installed on. Figure out what that timezone is. Then figure out how many seconds that is… in my case it was 4 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 14400 seconds
    Now go into settings…
    Edit the plugin code.
    Find the line below.

    echo date_i18n('F jS', $event["start_time"]-14400);

    But where I entered -14400 you should enter in the negative of the number of seconds you found above.
    Click save, you should be good to go.
    Goodluck!
