 * I’m running 2.0.3.1 and I’m getting the wrong times listed on my website. I have
   the correct time zone (Central) set in Settings>General and my Google calendar
   as well. If you look at my calendar page ([http://www.arlingtoncameraclub.org/calendar/](http://www.arlingtoncameraclub.org/calendar/))
   the times are all shifted +5 hours from what they should be. If you click on 
   the “Click this link” to take you directly to the Google Calendar the times are
   correct, but if you click on the More Details link for a specific event it is
   incorrect.

 * Joe,
    I was having a similar problem and have found a temporary fix for the time
   zone issue. You can read about it here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-zone-comments-box](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-zone-comments-box)
 * I hope this helps.

 * I found a way to override the times using [start-time offset=”-18000″] for the
   5 hour time difference. The problem I still have though is the event is on the
   wrong day because without this adjustment it shifts it to the following day, 
   and then this offset corrects the time but it still shows on the calendar for
   the next day. An event I want listed for Oct. 1st at 7 pm showed up as Oct 2nd
   at 12 am. With this offset, it now shows Oct. 2nd at 7 pm instead of Oct. 1 at
   7 pm.

 * Ok, I figured out the problem. Each individual event listed the right time and
   had Central time zone listed, but the overall Google calendar default time zone
   had reverted to UTC 0 for some reason. Changing that fixed everything.
