Upcoming Events widget lists wrong times
-
-
I’ve cleared my cache and my cookies and fixed for a minute but defaults back to the wrong time. In my calendar time is 1-5 pm and in the upcoming events it’s 9pm – 1am. time zone is set to -8 but for some reason its adding 8 hours to upcoming events.
Please help.

Do you notice any difference if you add one or two new dates to the original calendar?
Please note that the widget refreshes hourly, so you might need to wait any hour before you notice any difference.

I have the same issues with my blog (http://bustedqueenstown.com); tried fixing it on Google Calendar and it still persists.
Thanks to the staff for their effort, I hope this issue is solved soon.

I also have this issue on wyomingcec.org. When I first entered a calendar event on Google, it appeared correctly on the blog. But when I went back to correct the end time on Google, the blog started showing 3 hours off.

I also have the same problem with my blog http://montereybayholistic.wordpress.com The Google calendar from the widget is not correctly showing the correct time zone, although it is correct in the WordPress time zone settings and on the Google calendar with the Pacific Coast time zone. My event time is showing at exactly 8 hours later which puts it at 2:30 a.m. the following day, instead of 6:30 p.m. the evening before. I have reset it and also waiting for about 8 hours. The issue still exits. I hope this issue is resolved quickly. Thank you for your help.

To answer your above question, yes, I have added new dates waited several hours, and it continues to be a problem.

Ok, two things here.
1. What is the URL of the post or page where your list should be appearing.
2. The calendar is public, but the events on the calendar have been made private. Is there any improvement if you make the events public?
-
The times are wrong again and clearing the cache and cookies doesn’t help. This thing is too buggy. I got rid of it and replaced it with a google calendar modified to do the same thing. Works even better.

Madisonjazz, that’s a great solution, but only for those who have self-hosted blogs. For those of us using wordpress.com, the Upcoming Events widget is our only choice, as we are not able to install plug-ins. Oh, well, I guess I’ll have to wait until they fix this.

wyocec, if you’d like to, you can embed a Google Calendar following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-calendar/
If you’d like to get the Upcoming Events embed working, would you please tell me the URL of the source calendar, and the post or page (or widget) it should be appearing on?

I just decided to forget about using it and I used the text widget and posted the calendar information.

URL to Google calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/72dbggindmgt3mlas677dutvbc%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
widget is in sidebar, see http://wyomingcec.org
sometimes the time will appear correctly on my FIRST visit (of the day?) to the site, but will go off by 3 hours as soon as I refresh the page or visit any of the other pages in the site

are the instructions you gave me capable of producing a LIST of events (not the calendar itself)? I didn’t try it yet, but it appeared to me that that was all about putting an actual calendar in the blog
