  I have a page that’s been up and running for ages but for some reason the times on the upcoming events widget is now out by an hour.

  It’s this page – https://westontoylibrary.wordpress.com/

  Any ideas what’s wrong? I tried changing the time zone on Google Calendar but no luck. It’s set to GMT+1
  Thanks

  Hi, @csunshine,

  Wow, yes, I see those time changes.

  The times on your calendar are correct, then?
  To clarify: On the calendar that is the source of data for your Upcoming Event widget.

  I found this at the bottom of the Upcoming Events Widget Support Page:

  Why are the event times in the widget wrong? The Upcoming Events widget adjusts your event times to match your site’s timezone. If the times in your calendar are correct, your site may not be set to the correct timezone. You can change the Site Timezone setting in your site’s General Settings. (Choose a city in your timezone to make sure your site automatically adjusts to daylight saving time.)

  Any chance that could be it? If not, we’ll just narrow it down. It might also be worth removing the widget and reinstalling it with a new link from the calendar to see if you get the same results.

  Let me know if these help at all.

  You’re a genius – thank you! My site was set to the wrong time zone. Super simple. 😀
