Hi there!
My problem is that the correct date is not displaying on my site. I’ve attempted to resolve the issue within General Settings by setting the Time Zone to mine (Los Angeles) but it still appears to be showing the date per UTC, rather than local time. How can I fix this so that the correct date is displayed on my site? Please explain as much as you can in laymen terms; I’m still new to this. Thank you.
Hi @SessHoll,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
Could you please share the screenshots of your site timezone settings and where on your site the wrong time is displaying and what is your expected time?
Also could you please share me the page URL from your site where it is not displaying correctly so that i can troubleshoot it?
Best regards,
Shufflehound teamInstead of selecting Los Angeles in time zone could you please try setting its UTC time which i think is UTC-8 hours?
Hello there!
I’ve changed the timezone to UTC -8 and it is still displaying the incorrect date. The date on the site reads 11/9 but it is 11/8. I’ve attached screenshots for your review. Please help. Thank you.
Is the date on other sections of your site is displaying fine for you except the section that you are referring?
I apologize for the delay. The home page is the only section of my site that the date is prominently displayed. I can change the date on my blog posts. It still is displaying the incorrect date. Any suggestions?
That date is displayed using standard WordPress function date_i18n as described in the below pages.
