WP Rest API Wrong Time Calculated

  • Hi Guys

    We use the Rest API to add new custom posts but we are finding that the posts are getting “Scheduled” instead of published. Here is the scenario…

    Server Time Hardware Time = Australia/Brisbane
    Server Time System Time = Australia/Brisbane

    Wordpress Time Zone = Australia/Brisbane

    Sample Time from the WordPress General Settings Page.

    Universal time (GMT) is 2017-02-23 22:00:00. Local time is 2017-02-24 08:00:00.

    If we create a new post with the REST API before

      10am Local time (Australia/Brisbane) it set the post to “Scheduled”

      For example I insert a new post using the API at 2017-02-24 08:00:00 (Australia/Brisbane) it will schedule the post to 2017-02-24 18:00:00

      As per these instructions https://v2.wp-api.org/reference/posts/ we are setting the “date” using the local time (Australia/Brisbane) when we create a post.

      Any ideas why it’s doing this?
