gmt_offset not working

  • Running WP 1.5, Apache 1.3.33, PHP 5.02, MySQL 4.0.15a

    I have a problem setting the gmt_offset variable. In the options menu in the admin panel I write the value and hit the “Update Options” button. It saves everything else, but when it reloads the page, the “Times in the weblog should differ by:” is still blank. No matter what I write there it doesn’t reappear. This affects the time of the posts in the blog itself.

    I checked the database, but in the options table I couldn’t find an option that could hold that value. Does anyone have any idea about the option name, or what could be done?

  • I’m having the same problem but with PHP 4.3.11 and mysql 4.1.10a. Also checked db for something that would hold a value for that but didn’t see anything…any help anyone?

    gmt_offset is a record in the wp_options table. If you’re using phpMyAdmin (or similar MySQL tool), browse that table and sort by option_name.

    There was no “gmt_offset” record in my wp_options table. After adding it the options page stores the GMT offset value just fine. ??

    My gmt_offset didn’t exist as well, so I added the column gmt_offset in my wp_options table. When I later on try to add a value from the options – general section, nothing happends. When I add a value manually (I’ve tried 2, 02, +2 etc) nothing happends.

    What am I doing wrong?

    yeah, that’s exactly my prob!
    wp 1.5.1, my database has the gmt_offset, it was set to 2, which is correct (since i’m in vienna :), but the timestamp after the post showes two hours earlier than my local time!

    i set gmt_offset to +2, didn’t work either
