Essential Addons Calendar Widget Issue

Hi Essential Addons Support Team,

We are experiencing a display issue with the Essential Addons Events Calendar widget.

The widget’s event source is set to The Events Calendar.

Website: https://thebhp.com.au/
WordPress timezone: Broken Hill / Australia/Broken_Hill
The Events Calendar version: 7.0
Widget/source: Essential Addons Events Calendar widget using The Events Calendar as the source
Issue appears on: Calendar/month-style widget display

Issue summary:

Events from The Events Calendar are being displayed incorrectly inside the Essential Addons calendar widget. Most one-day events with an end time later than 2:00 pm are extending visually into the next day, even though the events are saved as same-day events in The Events Calendar.

Examples of behaviour:

• If an event ends at 2:00 pm or earlier, it displays correctly on the assigned day.
• If an event ends at 2:30 pm or later, it extends into the next day in the Essential Addons calendar widget.
• This is happening across multiple events, not just one event.
• All-day events display correctly.
• The issue started recently, around this week.

We checked the following:

1. WordPress timezone is correctly set to Broken Hill.
2. The Events Calendar event timezone shows Australia/Broken_Hill.
3. The Events Calendar “End of day cutoff” is set to 12:00 am.
4. The Essential Addons widget source is set to The Events Calendar.
5. We flushed LiteSpeed server cache.
6. We disabled The Events Calendar Month View Cache.
7. We tested changing The Events Calendar template away from “Elementor Full Width”.
8. We tested changing The Events Calendar stylesheet from Default Styles to Skeleton Styles.
9. The issue remained after these tests.

We also inspected the database for an affected event.

For event post ID 12641, the saved data appears correct:

_Postmeta values:

• _EventStartDate: 2026-02-19 19:30:00
• _EventEndDate: 2026-02-19 19:30:00
• _EventStartDateUTC: 2026-02-19 09:00:00
• _EventEndDateUTC: 2026-02-19 09:00:00
• _EventTimezone: Australia/Broken_Hill
• _EventDuration: 0

TEC events table values:

• post_id: 12641
• start_date: 2026-02-19 19:30:00
• end_date: 2026-02-19 19:30:00
• timezone: Australia/Broken_Hill
• start_date_utc: 2026-02-19 09:00:00
• end_date_utc: 2026-02-19 09:00:00
• duration: 0

This suggests the event data is being stored correctly in The Events Calendar, but the Essential Addons calendar widget is rendering the event incorrectly.

Could you please advise whether this is a known compatibility issue with the Essential Addons Events Calendar widget when using The Events Calendar as the source, especially with The Events Calendar v7.0? Also, please let us know if there is a setting, patch, or workaround to prevent same-day events from being displayed as multi-day events in the widget.

Screenshots can be provided if needed.

Thank you.
