 * Under EventOn Lite Settings/Time Settings, I am unable to change the Default 
   Event Timezone from the dropdown menu.
 * The dropdown opens and shows a search box, but I cannot select any timezone other
   than the current one — (GMT+00:00) Universal Time UTC. No matter what I type 
   or click, the timezone does not update. Please advise.

 * Thank you. I look forward to hearing possible solutions. Is there any possible
   work arounds in the mean time such as the plugin taking the default timezone 
   from the wordpress settings? I also do see the same issue for creating individual
   events as well – I can’t change the timezone.

 * Could you update EventON Lite to 2.5.5? The latest version will fix the issue.

 * I am experiencing the same issue on EventOn full on a client’s site, and the 
   issue also exists when creating a new event (can only select GMT 0:00) or editing
   an existing event (again, can only select GMT0). Also, the search field when 
   attempting to select a default timezone displays the AI modal, and then blanks
   out, unable to populate with any actual location to set a time zone. When attempting
   to update from within WordPress admin, an error is shown:
 * An error occurred while updating EventON: **The package could not be installed.
   PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature**
 * I had to manually install from the client’s downloaded zip file to get up to 
   a 5-era version as he was on 4.8.2. He’s on LiquidWeb hosting, if that helps.
   Thanks!

 * They have version 5.0.6 currently. It was throwing the same error when it was
   version 4.8.2 as well.

 * [@kellkheraptis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kellkheraptis/), since you
   own a full version of the plugin, could you create a new ticket on our Helpdesk?

 * Timezone issue in EventON Lite is resolved in new version 2.5.5
 * For EventON Full version please re-download eventON 5.0.10 and that will resolve
   it.
