# Time Bug?

 * I have just noticed what I think is a bug related to daylight saving time. We
   are in the Eastern Time zone, US, where the clocks will change on Nov. 4 at 2
   AM. I have an event set up for Nov 4. It’s set for 9:30 AM to 11 AM, but the 
   event posts showing 830 to 10 AM. The Settings for the site are set as New York
   time zone, not as UTC-4.
 * You can see the event here: [https://vcjewishcenter.org/event/annual-bazaar-carnival-2/](https://vcjewishcenter.org/event/annual-bazaar-carnival-2/)
 * Also, I just noticed that the slug for the event is unrelated to the event itself.
   The next Sunday’s event, which actually is the Bazaar and Carnival has the same
   slug except as -3.
 * I am currently running 4.6.25, which is one version back, but the changelog for
   the current version does not cite any change related to this.

 * Additional events after the shift to Standard Time are having the same problem.

 * Hey [@jkengineer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkengineer/), thanks for
   reaching out!
 * DST can be tricky, is the timezone for the event the same as the global time?
 * Does changing to UTC resolve anything?
 * Take care,
    Ed

 * Your response doesn’t make complete sense to me.
    The event is local. At the 
   moment we are UTC-4. Sunday we will be UTC-5. The time zone is a global setting.
   I see that I can set Events Calendar to have manual time zone settings for each
   event. That’s not particularly practical or appropriate. We display multiple 
   events per day to inform our members of repeating events.
 * The way I read what is happening: I enter an event that is happening in the future(
   normal action), I enter the time it will happen for the day on which it will 
   happen (normal action), your software notices that we change from DST to ST between
   when I enter the event and its occurence, the software subtracts an hour from
   the time I set – making it incorrect. The software is over compensating.
 * I think you need to have the time that is set for the event be the time of the
   event. I don’t think most of your users are dealing with astronomical events 
   whose times will not be local!

 * I discovered that there was a time zone field available next to the time setting
   for the event. It was set for UTC-4, rather than New York. I changed it and the
   displayed times are now correct.
    I now realize that is what you were referring
   to. I did not realize it before. I’m not sure how it got to be UTC-4. I am marking
   this as resolved.
