 * Since the latest versions the timezone function is no longer working properly.
 * Is there a plan when have this fixed, it is really a shame it is broken.
 * I cannot be the only one who has events in more than 1 timezone, where this issue
   is starting to become a problem?
 * Apart from that, great plug-in, thanks for all the work.

 * I love the way to provide a solution for dev versions, but maybe give a message
   if you already have that one installed?
 * I’m running 5.9.8.2, according to the info in the plug-in admin screen. I’m guessing
   that’s the dev version, after several attempts no update shows up.
 * And this version does not fix the timezone issue, i’m afraid.

 * Hello,
 * 5.9.8.2 is the latest Dev version. Are you using UTC Timezones? Does using a 
   different timezone (Not UTC) fixes the issue? ie: using a country based timezones
   on dropdown.
 * Could We perhaps know what specific timezone issues are you encountering?

 * I did some testing, hopefully that helps in resolving the issue.
 * Fresh installation, No additional plugins, only events manager.
    General settings:
   timezone=Madrid. Date format=d/m/Y, Time format=H:i Events Manager settings: 
   Enable Timezone Support=yes, Default Timezone=Madrid. Date formatting=24h.
 * Testing with 4 events, all with date=25 November 2020, time between **13:00 and
   15:00**.
    Event 1: Timezone=Madrid Event 2: Timezone=UTC+1 (is the same as Madrid)
   Event 3: Timezone=New York Event 4: Timezone=UTC-5 (is the same as New York)
 * Results.
    Both in admin and frontend: Event 1: 13:00-15:00 (correct), Event 2:
   12:00-14:00, Event 3: 13:00-15:00, Event 4: 18:00-20:00 Event 2, 3 and 4 do show
   the date/time with the correct timezone indicator.
 * After installation of the latest DEV version (5.9.8.2), all events have 13:00-
   15:00 as time.
    Added the same events, but dated 26/11/2020. These also all default
   to 26/11/2020, 13:00-15:00. The same happens in a clean installation with the
   DEV version, so without adding events in the official release.
 * After uninstall of the DEV version, and reinstall of the official version we 
   return to the original results:
    Event 1: 13:00-15:00, Event 2: 12:00-14:00, 
   Event 3: 13:00-15:00, Event 4: 18:00-20:00, Event 5: 13:00-15:00, Event 6: 12:
   00-14:00, Event 7: 13:00-15:00, Event 8: 18:00-20:00 (dated 26/11/2020).
 * So, basically the DEV version does nothing. It defaults all events to the date/
   time entered.
 * I normally use a mix of UTC and location timezones, but sticking to one makes
   no difference.
    Also using a UTC in general settings for the timezone has the
   same results.

 * When is this resolved? This problem has been going on for a few months now and
   is becoming critical.
 * Considering the impact on international systems I feel the lack of response is
   worrying.
