UTC / Local Time (glitch?)

  • Interesting ‘glitch’ with the plugin. When active, it causes WordPress / General Settings / UTC time to display as my local time set.

    I have WP ‘local time’ as +10 (Brisbane/Australia) timezone;

    The WP display under the setting then shows (eg):
    Universal time (UTC) is 2017-03-25 20:35:20. Local time is 2017-03-26 06:35:20.
    The UTC shown there is actually the current Localtime, and the Local time is 10 hours ahead.

    Deactivating the plugin corrects that.

    The only place that it is an issue thus far on the site, is in the COUPON expiry dates I have set in WooCommerce – they are timing out 10 hours early ??

    Everything else seems to be operating correctly – the cronjob schedule times are displayed in localtime and are triggering that way.

  • Yup, same problem
    Glitch is in the cronjob-scheduler.php on line: 15

    // set timezone based on WordPress timezone settings
if($sOption = get_option('timezone_string')) {
    date_default_timezone_set($sOption);
}

    Workaround: Just disable this set datetime zone function
