How to display pubDate as local time

    Publication datetime seems to be displayed in UTC time. Because I want to display in the local time, I hacked a little source (feedzy-rss-feeds-shortcode.php).

    //$contentMeta .= __( ‘on’, ‘feedzy_rss_translate’) . ‘ ‘ . date_i18n( $metaArgs[ ‘date_format’ ], $item->get_date( ‘U’ ) ) . ‘ ‘ . __( ‘at’, ‘feedzy_rss_translate’ ) . ‘ ‘ . date_i18n( $metaArgs[ ‘time_format’ ], $item->get_date( ‘U’ ) );
    $contentMeta .= __( ‘on’, ‘feedzy_rss_translate’) . ‘ ‘ . get_date_from_gmt($item->get_date(), $metaArgs[ ‘date_format’ ]) . ‘ ‘ . __( ‘at’, ‘feedzy_rss_translate’ ) . ‘ ‘ . get_date_from_gmt($item->get_date(), $metaArgs[ ‘time_format’ ]) );

    Of course, I have set my country zone in the WP timezone option. Do I need to change other settings?

  • I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you want to do.
    Plucation date and time are based on the feed’s once. So you can’t modify it.
    The only thing you can do is to modify the timestamp format with the following hook :

    function bweb_feedzy_meta_args($metaArgs, $feedURL){
    if( 'https://b-website.com/feed' == $feedURL ) {
        $metaArgs = array(
                    'date_format' => 'j F Y',
                    'time_format' => 'G \h i'
                );
    }
    return $metaArgs;
}
add_filter('feedzy_meta_args', 'bweb_feedzy_meta_args', 9, 2);

    By default, it uses the WordPress timestamps you choose in the admin general settings section.

    Here is the full hooks documentation page.

    Thank you for your quick response. I will explain a little more.

    Phenomenon:
    Time difference is not reflected in the publication date. For example, Japan time difference is +0900. UTC (e.g. 2015/07/02 23:00:00 +0000) should be converted JST (2015/07/03 08:00:00). However, displayed time was 2015/07/02 23:00:00.

    My investigation:
    At first, I thought that date_i18n() function of WP core converts from UTC to JST. But, it seems not to convert (=> 2015/07/02 23:00:00). So, I used get_date_from_gmt() instead of date_i18n(). As a result, publication date has been displayed correctly (=> 2015/07/03 08:00:00).

    I’m not familiar with specifications of WP and date_i18n() function. Therefore, do I have something misunderstanding?
