Time offset not taking

  • Running WP 1.2 on LAMP
    Problem: Offset is still 7 hours off GMT no matter what I do. So all posts are 7 hours in the future from MST (Colorado), which is what my server is set to.
    I’ve reset the variable to 7, -7, and even 0 hours in both the General Options and Other options. (General BTW doesn’t display the setting. Leaves it blank even though it applies it (Bug??).) I even started poking and setting in SQL thinking PHP code was faulty. Changed the “time_difference” value to a variety of different values. Nothing took. However, the value did show up in the admin area correctly.
    Nothing seems to affect my posts time stamp.
    Point me in the right direction.

  • This might be moot, but you are hitting the Update Settings button when you change your settings in each TAB under Options, right?

    Yes… “Update Options” button pretty straight forward. I took it as far as modifying SQL, ignoring PHP code. Nothing seems to work.
    The only thing that does work is “Edit Timestamp”. Where does the post timestamp come from? GMT offset or server time? Right now it’s set to 0 (zero) offset from my server.
    BTW… forgot to mention, PHP v5.0.2, Apache 2.0.52 & MySQL 4.0.21 if it makes any difference.

    You’ve managed to run WP 1.2 with PHP 5.x? I’ve read that lots of people have had issues with it. Could be related??
    Regards

    Yes… but, I switched back to 4.3.9 and same. No matter what I do, every post is set to GMT. I’ve reset my server clock and every post is the same. Driving me craze and I can’t believe there’s not a well known bug.
    I’ve poured over the post.php and every setting I can find. Even looked at every SQL table that may affect it to see if I can fix it in MySQL.
    Is there anyone out there who’s using LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL & PHP) and WP and not seeing this post time stamp issue? I have to believe it’s causing other’s greif.??????

    I’m having the same problem and I tried the same things, but I couldn’t even figure out for sure where the time offset value was in the MySQL tables. I’m also running WP1.2.1 and PHP5, but I’m using the Apache server that came with OSX 10.3

    i’m seeing the exact same behavior. running WP1.2, PHP 4.1.2, mysql 3.23.58.

    Edit wp-admin/options-general.php
    Find and replace gmdate with date
