On the “General Settings” page of my WordPress site, it’s not displaying the correct UTC and local times (see screenshot below). The displayed UTC and local times are wrong. It should say that local time is “15:52” I’m running WordPress 4.9.6 and PHP 7.0.30. The default timezone in my “php.ini” file is set correctly–when I … Read more

These are the functions I use in my theme to display the “entry-meta” which includes published and last modified dates (among others) of an article: // Shows Author and Published Date if ( ! function_exists( ‘reddle_posted_on’ ) ) : function reddle_posted_on() { printf( __( ‘<span class=”byline”>Posted by <span class=”author vcard”><a class=”url fn n” href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/54700/%5$s” title=”%6$s” … Read more
My local WordPress installation on XAMPP seems to have a wrong time setting. When I do date( ‘Y-m-d H:i:s’ ); I get 2017-02-21 10:46:43 as result. However my PCs time really is 2017-02-21 11:46:43, so my WordPress is one hour behind. Now I already did, what was recommended here and changed date.timezone in the php.ini … Read more
Is there any way, whether it be a hack, a plugin, etc., to give users their own timezone? I am using a purchased SMS plugin. Users (my clients) login and are able to send out text messages when they choose. The plugin uses the post engine, including the scheduled post dialogue in the ‘Publish’ box, … Read more
