 * It seems that events are disappearing off my lists and maps before they expire?
 * I believe that it may have to do with how your plug-in handles time zone setting
   and/or if the plug-in removes events based on start time instead of end time.
 * I have my site set to ‘Thunder Bay’ time zone EDT (UTC -4) however I think your
   plug-in is still calculating expiry as if the time is using UTC.

 * [events_list blogs=”all” nb=-1 future=1 past=0 order=”ASC”]
 * produces:
 * Sample Event (Day 1 – Sept 12, 2014)
    today, from: 16:00 to: 22:00
 * Sample Event (Day 2 – Sept 13, 2014)
    tomorrow, from: 12:00 to: 22:00
 * The problem is the events is set in Thunder Bay Time (EDT) however your plug-
   in is in Universal Time (UTC). So the plug-in is processing/displaying things
   four or five hours ahead of our time (pending on if we are in daylight or standard
   time).
 * This causes confusion as Sept 12, 2014 has not arrived yet, however it show the
   event is today? Also causes events to be taken down before they are over.
 * Can you please fix your plug-in to recognize time zone being used.

 * I’m having the same issue here. Since I’m at GMT-4, some events are displayed
   as beginning at 8PM on the day before, instead of 00:00 on the right day. What’s
   more, we’re changing the time here (Montreal) on Nov.2, so the events that are
   registered after that date have an additional hour of offset.
 * After 8PM, the calendar shortcode displays «today» in the next day.
    Same for
   the iCal and Google buttons, their begin/end times are off 4 or 5 hours.
 * I’ve tried to find where in the code is the time called, and to adapt it, but
   my php knowledge is limited, so that didn’t get very far.
 * Does this have anything to do with the server’s time?
 * Do you have any plans to correct this issue anytime soon?
