There is a one-hour difference between what the Announcer is showing and the correct count. https://imgur.com/a/QD0WUi1
I know it’s based on the Time zone setting in WordPress, and I have checked that WordPress shows the correct time at the moment. Could the Announcer be ignoring the daylight saving adjustment, DST?

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for reporting this.
I’ll fix this in the next release of the plugin.

For now, can you please make this change in the “plugin editor”?

1) Deactivate Announcer – PRO plugin.
2) Go to plugins –> Plugin editor
3) Select announcer-pro/includes/display.php
4) Delete lines 451-455 – Image
5) Paste below lines at line no. 451. Image

$wp_timezone_string = get_option('timezone_string');

if (!$wp_timezone_string) {
    $wp_timezone_offset = get_option('gmt_offset');
    $wp_timezone_string = timezone_name_from_abbr('', $wp_timezone_offset * 3600, 0);
}

if (!$wp_timezone_string) {
    $wp_timezone_string = 'UTC';
}

$countdown_time = new DateTime($settings['cdt_countdown'], new DateTimeZone($wp_timezone_string));
$countdown_timestamp = $countdown_time->getTimestamp();

6) Save the file and activate the plugin.

Let me know if it works.

Thanks,
Aakash
