Simple Calendar Grid View Wrong Start month Again

    7 months ago I had a problem with the wrong start month being displayed in Grid View with a start of This Month. At that time Simple Calendar V 3.1.7. See the forum post

    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grid-view-start-month-wrong/

    This was fixed in the beta version of 3.1.8, and also worked fine in the release version of 3.1.8.

    Since updating to 3.1.9, the problem has come back again!.

    Please see my site at

    https://www.breretonlife.com/whatsongrid/

    Displayed start month is previous month, with no data, and clicking to next month takes you to the month after the start month.

    I have checked all the time zone information as recommended.
    WP Site settings are correct as London.
    Google Calendar settings are set to London.
    Simple Calendar settings for the Grid View is set Site Default (Europe/London).

    I have tried as recommended setting the Simple Calendar to Custom / London, but this does not make any difference to the Grid display.

    Do you have any suggestions please to fix this?

    Is it possible to go back to Simple Calendar V 3.18?
    If so, how?

    Thanks.

    Have you gone through this? https://docs.simplecalendar.io/timezone-settings/

    Yes you can revert to a previous release by downloading it from here: https://github.com/moonstonemedia/Simple-Calendar/releases

    Hi Nick

    Thanks for prompt response.

    Yes, I have been thru that document, and checked all the settings.

    Would it be good idea to revert to the previous version?
    Or is there anything else that could have been missed?

    I guess i do not want to get to situation where i am stuck on v 3.1.8 from a compatibility perspective with future WP releases.

    Does this happen all the time for you or is it only on the first day of a new month?

    Hi Nick

    It’s all the time. It’s not linked with change of month.

    Hmm that is definitely odd. Just one final check here, did you also try the theme/plugin conflict checks?

    https://docs.simplecalendar.io/troubleshooting-theme-plugin-widget-conflicts/

    I just want to be thorough here and make sure we covered all the basics first.

    Hi Nick

    I have reproduced the error in a vanilla WordPress installation.

    This has latest WP, latest Simple Calendar, uses WP TwentySeventeen theme, no other plugins installed.

    I have put on 3 posts to show the problem.

    http://development.ahswebservices.com/

    The first shows the grid view month display error.
    Calendar settings; Start = This month, Earliest event = same as start

    The second shows the grid view with
    Calendar settings; Start = Today, Earliest event = same as start

    The third shows the grid view with a bit of a cludge – at least it gets the display of current month correct, but it still has issue if you click to go to next month, it jumps to August (misses July!), but you can then go back to July, then June OK.
    Calendar settings; Start = 1 month after current, Earliest event = 1 month before current

    I think the underlying issue is to do with the Time Zone setting.
    I notice that in the Advanced settings for the calendar that the Display Time Format preview shows the time as London GMT, and not local time as in London BST.

    The WordPress settings is set to London, but it picks up the daylight savings OK:
    ——————–
    Timezone London
    Choose either a city in the same timezone as you or a UTC timezone offset.
    Universal time (GMT) is 2017-06-19 14:25:41. Local time is 2017-06-19 15:25:41.

    This timezone is currently in daylight saving time.
    Standard time begins on: 29th October 2017 2:00 am.
    ——————–

    I know that the Simple Calendar WAS working OK after the installation of your version 3.1.8 in October 18th., over the Winter when London was in GMT.
    My previous logged call with you with the issue was probably before end of October 2016, when we were in London BST, and also when it changed to London GMT at the end of October 2016.
    ——
    3.1.8 – October 18, 2016
    Fix: Multi-day events should not show duplicate events in one day in some time zones.
    Fix: List view heading dates corrected for some time zones.
    Fix: Grid view starting month corrected for some time zones.
    Fix: Remove duplicate “Event source default” option when add-on enabled.
    Tweak: Set “Expand multi-day events” default value to “No, display only on first day of event”.

    Since the update to 3.1.9 could it be that Simple Calendar is not picking up the fix to the daylight savings time?

    I have tried to re-install 3.1.8, by deactivating + delete Simple Calendar plugin, and then using the download of your 3.1.8 zip file, but this seems to screw up completely the website and it requires a full restore to get it back again. So not sure if there is another way to get back to 3.1.8?

    Interesting findings. It could possibly be a time change issue. We can look into that for sure.

    The only way to get 3.1.8 back is to download that zip and install it. Are you making sure to keep the option to save settings enabled? Or what do you mean it messes up the whole site?
