Now I get this message: `Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'The supplied timezone [] is not supported.' in /xxx/xxx/xxx/jellesweb. nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy/ExpressiveDate.php:156 Stack trace: #0 /xxx/xxx/xxx/jellesweb.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/events-made- easy/ExpressiveDate.php(54): ExpressiveDate->parseSuppliedTimezone('') #1 /xxx/ xxx/xxx/jellesweb.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy/eme_events. php(5): ExpressiveDate->__construct(NULL, '') #2 /xxx/xxx/xxx/jellesweb.nl/public_html/ wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy/eme_events.php(90): eme_new_event() #3 [internal function]: eme_new_event_page('') #4 /xxx/xxx/xxx/jellesweb.nl/public_html/wp- includes/plugin.php(503): call_user_func_array('eme_new_event_p...', Array) # 5 /xxx/xxx/xxx/jellesweb.nl/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php(236): do_action('evenementen_pag...')# 6 {main} thrown in /xxx/xxx/xxx/jellesweb.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/events- made-easy/ExpressiveDate.php on line 156` * Can you take care of this? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [bvanbreukelen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvanbreukelen/) * (@bvanbreukelen) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-gone-wrong-2/#post-6526240) * Dear, * I have exactly the same problem.. Latest version of WP, and updated to latest EME and got this error: * The supplied timezone [] is not supported * Also, I get a popup asking me to download DataTables. * Hope you can solve this issue. I was searching for some place to set the datatimezone, cannot find it in the settings? * [bvanbreukelen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvanbreukelen/) * (@bvanbreukelen) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-gone-wrong-2/#post-6526247) * A quick fix that I implemented just to get the site running: * I added the following before line 54 in the ExpressiveData.php file (located in the plugins/events made easy/ folder. * // added this line $timezone = “Europe/Amsterdam”; // change zone to where you live * // above this line (54) $timezone = $this->parseSuppliedTimezone($timezone); * ps take a look at: [https://www01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/#!/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzati/rzatitimezone.htm](https://www01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/#!/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzati/rzatitimezone.htm) for more zones * Thread Starter [Jelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jellesweb/) * (@jellesweb) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-gone-wrong-2/#post-6526260) * Thanks, That did it. * Now it is running again. 😀 * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-gone-wrong-2/#post-6526268) * Which timezone do you have configured in your php.ini ? Maybe I should take into account “empty timezone” problems there (but I thought wordpress took care of those). Also, check your wordpress general settings for the configured timezone. Can you describe what you were doing when it happened? Concerning the datatables: it should be working, but I guess something went wrong when I pushed to svn … I don’t get the popup anywhere, but I’ll search for a clean install to check again * [bvanbreukelen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvanbreukelen/) * (@bvanbreukelen) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-gone-wrong-2/#post-6526298) * Hi franky, * It had happened on two websites of mine. One that runs in a web hosting and for which I can’t change the Php.ini and one on a server of mine. Never added any time zone there in the Php.ini and I don’t think this is mandatory during install. Anyway I just clicked on update this morning in WordPress and the result was this error. I solved it by setting this variable my self in the code. Perhaps this could be a setting somewhere in the admin? So people can set their own timezone. * Cheers Bas * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-gone-wrong-2/#post-6526300) * No, it is related to the wordpress weird code concerning “UTC” values for timezones( in the wordpress general settings). Either change to a location-based timezone( e.g. Europe/Brussels) or update to 1.5.43 (just released) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Update gone wrong.’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/events-made-easy/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1856035) * [Events Made Easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-made-easy/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-made-easy/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-made-easy/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-made-easy/reviews/) ## Tags * [update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/update/) * 6 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * Last activity: [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-gone-wrong-2/#post-6526300) * Status: resolved
