I am trying to configure a daily agenda grid view like shown below, but for some reason it keeps showing 3 days in the past instead of the current date (at the time of posting this, it is Saturday, 16 January).

Wednesday 13 January 2021 Today 6:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 14:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 16:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ personal: 16:12...... Closed: DONE Clean litter box 18:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 20:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wgu: 22:00...... Deadline: DONE Recreate virtual lab environment because I am a dumbass. 22:00...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Interestingly, when I open the calendar it defaults to the wrong date, but it does show "today" as having the correct date. See the bottom of this picture: image here

Creating a new journal entry also uses the correct date.

I'm not really sure why I can't get my agenda grid to show today's date.

My config is as follows:

(use-package! org-super-agenda :hook (after-init . org-super-agenda-mode) :config (setq org-agenda-time-grid (quote ((daily today) (600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 2200) "......" "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~")) org-agenda-include-deadlines t org-agenda-include-diary t org-agenda-block-separator nil org-agenda-compact-blocks t org-agenda-start-with-log-mode t org-deadline-warning-days 4 calendar-latitude 34.034520 calendar-longitude -84.456010 calendar-location-name "Marietta, GA") (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(( "z" "Super view" ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-span 'day) (org-super-agenda-groups '((:name "Today" :time-grid t :date today :scheduled today :order 1) (:name "Clocked Today" :log t))))) (alltodo "" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's get some shit done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~") (org-super-agenda-groups '((:name "Due today" :deadline today :order 1) (:name "Important" :tag "important" :order 1) (:name "Overdue" :deadline past :scheduled past :order 1) (:name "Daily Habits" :tag "daily" :order 1) (:name "Habits" :habit t :order 2) (:name "Due soon" :deadline future :order 2) (:name "Working on" :todo "STARTED" :order 3) (:name "Next to do" :todo "NEXT" :order 4) (:name "Quickies" :effort< "0:30" :order 5) (:discard (:tag("bible"))) (:name "Projects" :children todo :order 6) (:discard (:anything t)))) )))))))

  • Do you have items in your agenda for today's date? Commented Jan 16, 2021 at 8:34
  • I do, yes. I have at least one item scheduled each day. Commented Jan 16, 2021 at 22:04
  • Long shot, I know, but does your computer know the correct date? If you execute date on the command line, does it show today's date? Commented Jan 17, 2021 at 0:41
  • If you remove org-super-agenda does it show correctly? Commented Jan 17, 2021 at 5:35
  • Yes, date shows the correct date on my system. No, removing org-super-agenda does not change anything. The day span still shows the date as three days behind (Friday, when today is now Monday). Commented Jan 18, 2021 at 23:19

Late to the party but I had the same issue and solved it following the configuration here. The trick is to specify the agenda starting day by adding org-agenda-start-day to your initial configuration, like so :

(use-package! org-super-agenda ;; ... :config (setq org-agenda-start-day nil ; today ;; ... ))
