Make the display of 'UTC+/- x hours' optional

Wishlist Event Calendar

It is great that you include the UTC+/-hours. However, since our events are not online events but local events, the locals do not need to see the UTC relationship displayed.
It should be more like a local poster - they never show the UTC information.
My suggestion is to retain the UTC+/-x hours, but to make the display optional.
Cheers

Greetings and welcome aboard, @Dietrich_Lasa :waving_hand:

This is a nice idea, thanks for sharing! We’ll keep that in mind and see for more votes from others

In the meantime, our devs will prepare a custom solution for you to hide the UTC display. I’ll update you once it’s done :slightly_smiling_face:

Please add this code to the Custom CSS field on the Style tab of your widget’s settings to hide UTC from your events:

.global-styles,
.eapp-events-calendar-popup-time-content span,
.eapp-events-calendar-time-time span {
  display: none;
}

The default feature that displays Greenwich time zone code (i.e., “UTC-4” for the New York, USA time zone) was a deal breaker for my client! Everything else about the Event Calendar is great, but this confusing UTC reference is not a common metric in the United States. Please remove it, or at least provide a choice – We would prefer “7:00 PM EST” meaning “7 o’clock PM Eastern Standard Time” – or let it simply display “7:00 PM.”
We are very disappointed, because Elfsight Event Calendar was a fantastic solution to what was wanted – Almost! Please rethink, or provide a code patch to get ride of the UTC.
Thank you.

Hi there, @Barbara_Davis :waving_hand:

Thanks a heap for sharing your thoughts with us!

I completely get you and I am really sorry there is no way to hide UTC right in the settings. We already have this idea on the Wishlist and I’ve merged your comment with it.

The good news is that you can hide UTC using a CSS code and I see you’ve successfully added it to your widget :slightly_smiling_face:

.global-styles,
.eapp-events-calendar-popup-time-content span,
.eapp-events-calendar-time-time span {
  display: none;
}
