# Time Zone & Comments Box

 * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-zone-comments-box/)
 * I just updated to the latest version of the Google Calendar Events (Version 2.0.3.1)
   and WordPress 4.0. I’m running into two issues with it.
 * First, the time zone adjustments does appear to be working correctly. I have 
   used both the UTC -4 and New York options in WP and have refreshed the feed with
   no luck. The calendar I am using is: [http://bit.ly/1yuvh1E](http://bit.ly/1yuvh1E)
   
   The web site page is: [http://bit.ly/1uOftk7](http://bit.ly/1uOftk7)
 * My other issue is I can’t seem to turn off the comments on this particular page.
   I have gone through every means I know of including turning them off site wide
   and still the comments box continues to show up. I created a new page thinking
   it might have been an issue with the old page and the update but even new pages
   show the comments box even when the option is turned off.
 * Any ideas?

 * I figured out the comments box issue… By unchecking the “Show sharing button”
   box (part of Jet Pack) inside the Google Calendar Feeds (not the actual Page)
   the comment box no longer shows up.
 * I still have not figured out the time zone issue, though. Any help is greatly
   appreciated.

 * If it helps, here is what my feed short code looks like:
 * [event-title] at [start-time]
    Dive site: [location]

 * Looks like I found a temporary band-aid for the issue I was having with the time
   zone…
 * In /includes/class-gce-event.php I replaced line 285:
    **$offset = intval( $offset);**
 * With:
    **$offset = intval( -14400 );**
 * _I arrived at -14440 by using my locations UTC time (ie. -4) * 3600_
 * Hopefully this helps anyone else until the plugin is properly fixed.

 * I found a way to do this without modifying the php file so updates shouldn’t 
   break it. Where you have [start-time] change it to [start-time offset=”-14400″].
   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.

 * Looks like the correct idea.
 * We just released version 2.0.4 of the plugin so you can also try updating to 
   that and see if your issues are resolved.
 * Let me know how it goes for you.
 * Thanks!

 * Assuming resolved since there has been no follow up here and there have also 
   been a few releases since the initial problem.
 * If you are still having issues with the latest releases then please let me know
   in a new thread so we can work it out together.
 * Thanks for using the plugin!
