 * I’m not with The Events Calendar, but the link you’ve provided states “The ability
   to add these additional fields is included within our Events Calendar Pro plugin.”
   You would therefore need to pay for The Events Calendar Pro ([https://theeventscalendar.com/products/wordpress-events-calendar/](https://theeventscalendar.com/products/wordpress-events-calendar/))
   to add custom fields.

   an old copy of the page from the “Wayback Machine” website:

   to see the page.

 * The suggestion from [@abzlevelup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abzlevelup/)
   should work. You’re missing the initial period. You currently have:
 *     ```
       single-tribe_events .title_subtitle_holder * {
         color: #000 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * instead of:
 *     ```
       .single-tribe_events .title_subtitle_holder * {
         color: #000 !important;
       }
       ```

   reply to: [[The Events Calendar] Not enough location-based time zones + manual offset causing bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-enough-location-based-time-zones-manual-offset-causing-bugs/)

 * (@bpcake)
 * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-enough-location-based-time-zones-manual-offset-causing-bugs/#post-15992362)
 * I’m not in anyway connected with the plugin, but…
 * It makes sense that The Events Calendar (TEC) plugin would list 3 timezones for
   North Dakota. That’s from the IANA timezone database often used in computer programming(
   see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_North_Dakota](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_North_Dakota)).
   You can find more information about the database at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database).
   If TEC created their own special list of timezones, they would need to manually
   modify the list several times a year as timezones changed world-wide, increasing
   the chance for mistakes. They may also be using some third-party software to 
   handle timezones that assumes the use of that database.
 * This isn’t ideal, but if you have a software developer available, they could 
   possibly write some software to automate converting the events. One approach 
   might be to export the wp_postmeta table from the database, write some software
   to make automated updates to the exported table, then import the result. An example
   set of rows for the start and end dates/times for event number 14794 might end
   up looking something like this in wp_postmeta:
 *     ```
       (218722, 14794, '_EventStartDate', '2022-08-06 07:30:00'),
       (218723, 14794, '_EventEndDate', '2022-08-06 08:00:00'),
       (218724, 14794, '_EventStartDateUTC', '2022-08-06 11:30:00'),
       (218725, 14794, '_EventEndDateUTC', '2022-08-06 12:00:00'),
       (218726, 14794, '_EventDuration', '1800'),
       (218728, 14794, '_EventTimezone', 'America/Indiana/Indianapolis'),
       (218729, 14794, '_EventTimezoneAbbr', 'EDT'),
       ```
   
 * This shows that event #14794 starts at 7:30am on August 6, 2022. It lasts until
   8:00am on August 6, 2022 (1800 seconds). The timezone is ‘America/Indiana/Indianapolis’.
   Since this is during daylight saving time in Indianpolis, the timezone abbreviation
   is EDT rather than EST.
 * During daylight saving time, EDT is 4 hours behind UTC, so we add 4 hours to 
   the event start and date times to get the equivalent UTC time. If the date was
   not during daylight saving time, the listed timezone would be ‘EST’, and we would
   add 5 hours to the start and end dates/times to get the necessary UTC times.
 * I realize this is confusing, but hopefully it helps a little.

 * I’m definitely not an expert, but does it work if you add something like this
   to your CSS? I think the line will change the color of the title for all of your
   events on the single event pages.
 *     ```
       div.title_holder > div > div > div > h1 > span {
          color: black;
       }
       ```

 * I don’t believe the tribe_pre_get_view hook still exists, so that code snippet
   wouldn’t work.
 * Perhaps the following link will do what you need:
