ok. I did notice upon “re-saving” an existing business timezone, I am now able to view a reflection of +7. The steps to do that include:
1.) Clicking “No” for business hours, under the business info. Then, clicking “Update” for that place/page.
2.) Clicking “Yes” for business hours, and then re-updating the page/place. Just as a note, you cannot simply click “update” for a “place” as a “re-save” for an existing business. These extra steps seem unnecessary.
Also, just to confirm, It did reflect the +7 when adding a new “test business.” This happened automatically, which is good.
However, you can still see that the businesses (pre-existing and new test business) are not reflecting the appropriate response of being “open” or “closed.” I’ve attached a screenshot of that current issue.
If this issue is resolved and I do purchase any add-ons to expand the directory geographically, will it automate the timezone for frontend users when and if they update their business to a new timezone via the address fields for any reason? It seems almost as if I will have a lot of backend work of re-saving their time zones manually on the backend to help them keep their businesses current.
