# WordPress event date 1970: source and repair worksheet

This editable worksheet is in English. Use it for a site running **The Events Calendar**. Keep the organizer-approved event date separate from the saved editor values and the public display. Test one representative record in staging before changing a live import batch.

## 1. Capture the event and approved schedule

| Item | Value / owner / evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Event title, WordPress event ID, edit URL |  |
| Direct public URL and calendar URL |  |
| Approved start date, time and time zone |  |
| Approved end date, time and time zone |  |
| Schedule owner and approval record |  |
| Last known correct public view and time |  |
| First observed 1970 display and device |  |
| Visitor-facing correction/contact route during repair |  |

## 2. Trace where 1970 entered

| Layer | Affected event | Unaffected comparison event | Observation / evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Origin: manual, duplicate or import |  |  |  |
| Original CSV row / duplicate source, if relevant |  |  |  |
| Import date/time field mapping, if relevant |  |  |  |
| Editor start and end before saving |  |  |  |
| Editor start and end after reloading |  |  |  |
| Signed-out direct page |  |  |  |
| Signed-out calendar view |  |  |  |

If an import batch is involved, preserve its original file and event IDs. The provider documents that imports can update matching existing events, so do not re-import the live batch as a diagnostic shortcut.

## 3. One-record staged repair

**Hypothesis supported by the comparison:** ________

**Staging copy and recovery point:** ________

**One change to test (row, mapping, record or rendering path):** ________

**Expected result and rollback:** ________

**Actual result on the same event and an unaffected event:** ________

**Owner approval / release time:** ________

## 4. Public release and handoff

| Visitor check | URL, device and time | Pass / fail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Direct page shows approved start/end/time zone |  |  |
| Calendar view shows the same date |  |  |
| Current ticket or registration link works, if present |  |  |
| Unaffected comparison event still displays correctly |  |  |
| Signed-out phone view agrees with desktop |  |  |

**If unresolved:** send the maintainer the event ID and URLs, creation method, saved date fields before/after, one relevant source row without unrelated data, plugin versions and staged test result. Keep the organizer-approved schedule available through the chosen visitor route until the public page is accurate.
