Title: Live Countdown widget timezone bug Last modified: August 20, 2018 --- # Live Countdown widget timezone bug * Resolved [Roman Perevala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ramzesimus/) * (@ramzesimus) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-countdown-widget-timezone-bug/) * Hi guys, * I found the issue in Countdown widget if live countdown option **(SportsPress > General > Scripts > Live Countdowns**) enabled. * Details: My Local Time: UTC+2 (14:00) My Site Time: UTC+4 (16:00) Theme: Rookie Plugin version: 2.6.7 * I set up Timezone UTC+4 in SportsPress ( [http://take.ms/AIK3s](http://take.ms/AIK3s)) and the same timezone is in **General > Settings** ( [http://take.ms/v3DkX](http://take.ms/v3DkX)). So the site time should be 16:00 * After that I scheduled an Event for **Aug 20, 2018 @ 17:00**, added Countdown widget and got the wrong time ( [http://take.ms/GWjJxd](http://take.ms/GWjJxd)) The event starts in an hour (site time 16:00, scheduled for 17:00) but it shows the time based on my local computer settings which is wrong. * If live countdown is disabled everything works as expected ( [http://take.ms/oNMUO](http://take.ms/oNMUO)) * Waiting for your quick fix 😉 * Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the fix 🙂 * Just one small thing. If the event date is in the past then there is a negative numbers in countdown ( see screenshot [http://take.ms/zBEdZ](http://take.ms/zBEdZ)) Technically it’s correct, but it looks unclear especially if you don’t noticed the minus sign before the days. * Best Regards!
