Question

Time zones / British Summer Time

Hi,

I'm having a time zone issue. In the UK we are currently on British Summer Time, which is GMT+1. What do I select in Event Manager as the time? We are set to the default time zone of GMT. However the time we are starting is GMT+1. If I put that as the time zone, it will adjust for where you are, so it was actually show as an hour earlier than it is.

So how do I set an event for registration at GMT+1 for BST?

Thank you as this is causing me a LOT of hassle!

Jo

There is a time zone drop down for every event. Can you just shift it to one of the GMT +1 time zones?

Hi there,

Sorry no, because that makes the time zone wrong. Because the event manager “translates” to the local time on the computer, so that will come up as 11.30am rather than 12.30pm.
