    Hello,

    On each user profile, birthdate is incorrect
    (for instance 23/05/1978 where it should show 24/05/1978)
    but when they click on the gear to modify their profile data, the correct birthdate is displayed

    I have checked in the table user_meta, I find the correct date ; “1978/05/24”

    There is always 1 day error at the display. what is wrong ?

    here are a few informations ;

    in wp-settings.php, there is a line (set by default) ;

    date_default_timezone_set( 'UTC' );

    The Site Health tool on the WordPress dashboard gave the following notification and classified it as critical:

    “PHP default time zone was changed after WordPress loading by a date_default_timezone_set() function call. This interferes with correct calculations of dates and times.”

    In the settings of WP, UTC is 2023-01-02 23:03:43. Local time is 2023-01-03 00:03:43.

    I feel there is a link…

    Cheers
    Alexandra

    Yes you are right UM is converting the birth date as if the user entered the UTC birth date. During your time differences from UTC the birth date will be wrong.

    Birth dates are always in local time and only a format modification is required.

    You can try this code snippet where birth_date is not converted as an UTC date. If you have other non UTC local dates add their meta_keys to the test array.

    Install the code snippet to your active theme’s functions.php file
    or use the “Code Snippets” plugin.

    remove_filter( 'um_profile_field_filter_hook__date', 'um_profile_field_filter_hook__date', 99, 2 );
add_filter( 'um_profile_field_filter_hook__date', 'um_profile_field_filter_hook__date_update', 99, 2 );

function um_profile_field_filter_hook__date_update( $value, $data ) {
	if ( ! $value ) {
		return '';
	}
	if ( isset( $data['pretty_format'] ) && $data['pretty_format'] == 1 ) {
		$value = UM()->datetime()->get_age( $value );
	} else {
		$format = empty( $data['format_custom'] ) ? $data['format'] : $data['format_custom'];
		if ( in_array( $data['metakey'], array( 'birth_date' ) ) ) {
			$value = date( $format, strtotime( $value ) );
		} else {
			$value = date_i18n( $format, strtotime( $value ) );
		}
	}

	return $value;
}
