Online Event StartDate Timezone

#68390
  • Hello I’m using the last stable version of your great plugin but I’m getting a error with the timezone for the online event snippet in this page:

    https://www.aeropostale.com.ar/hot-sale/

    The plugin is publishing this (without seconds):

    "startDate":"2020-07-27T00:00--03"
    "endDate":"2020-07-30T00:00"

    and Google wants this:

    "startDate": "2019-07-01T10:00:00-05:00",
    "endDate": "2019-07-26T17:00:00-05:00"

    Could you take a look and tell me how can I fix this issue.

    Best regards

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Rank math adds the timezone automatically from your WordPress settings. You should ensure you have set your timezone correctly in WordPress dashboard > Settings.

    If the issue persists, please share the issue showing the error so we can test this from our end.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello Michael

    This are my timezone settings https://snipboard.io/VypH0S.jpg

    This are the event online schema settings https://snipboard.io/6Pyjat.jpg

    This is the structured data that the plugin is publishing with the above setup:
    "startDate":"2020-07-27T00:00--03","endDate":"2020-07-30T00:00"

    And finally this is the error that I get here https://search.google.com/test/rich-results

    Page tested: https://www.aeropostale.com.ar/hot-sale/

    Error: En la propiedad “startDate” de fecha y hora falta la zona horaria (timezone missing)

    Many thanks for your help

    Hello,

    Just to be sure, I checked it by myself in a local installation with only Rank Math. But I had no luck reproducing the issue, I got the right structured data for the events schema.

    Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it could be a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

    To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Please let us know if you find the culprit.

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    The staging site doesn’t seem to have any posts added.

    Some cities seem to missing a relative UTC time offset for their timezone. To resolve the issue, you can select another city with a timezone similar as yours or you can select the specific UTC time offset for the timezone settings. This has been known to resolve the issue.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
