 * Hi there,
 * I must be missing something – we can’t seem to get the timezone to show correctly.
 * Ideally, using the #_EVENTTIMES placeholder, I would like to show the time and
   timezone for the event area, using g:i a T. It will only show the default WP 
   EDT.
    Timezone support is set to Yes in Settings.
 * I have tried – re-saving settings, Clearing cache for site and browser, Setting
   the Timezone within the event itself, setting timezone directly in the Database.
 * I also tried to use #_12HSTARTTIME – #_12HENDTIME but since there is no timezone
   setting that does not work for us.

 * Any advice is helpful, thanks in advance!

 * Hello,
 * I’ve reported this as a Bug on EM. Hopefully it will be fixed on the next release.

 * You could however use this small snippet to display the timezone: Place the code
   on your theme’s functions.php. Then you can use the placeholde #_EVENTTIMEZONE
   to display timezone
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'em_event_output_placeholder', 'em_display_timezone_custom_placeholder', 1, 3 );
       function em_display_timezone_custom_placeholder( $replace, $EM_Event, $result ){
           if( $result == '#_EVENTTIMEZONE' ){
       		if( isset( $EM_Event->event_timezone ) ) {
       			$replace = $EM_Event->event_timezone;
       		}
           }
           return $replace;
       }
       ```
