Utc and local time

#1 · June 5, 2018, 1:45 pm

I just can not figure out how to set the time zone. on the server time is utc, local time is +3. when the user leaves a message, the forum is written that it is left 3 hours ago, that is, the forum does not know about the time zone. tell me, please, how to fix it.

Hello @vanurin

Asgaros Forum uses the timezone-settings of your WordPress installation. Please have a look into Settings -> General. There you can adjust the timezone-settings for WordPress.

Wordpress timezone is +3. In wordpress general settings time is correct.

Hello again @vanurin

Can you post a screenshot here of your complete WordPress time-settings so that I can try to reproduce this with your settings on my testing-environment?

if this helps, I’ve moved the site several times from the server to the server. now works on ubuntu 16.04.03, apache 2.4.18, php 7.0.30, mysql 5.7.22, webmin 1.883, virtualmin 6.03. can it be easier to change the time on the server itself? Wordpress 4.9.6-ru, asgaros 1.9.2 updated 1 minute ago 🙂

Hello again @Asgaros. Did you have to repeat the problem? For understanding, I add screenshots.

Hello @vanurin

I checked it with your settings and I could not reproduce this error yet. It can be possible that this is a problem with the timezone-configuration on your server.

very strange. The problem is only on the forum list page and on the statistics page. The time is correct in the message.

Yes, its really strange. When a new post is saved into the database, the current_time(‘timestamp’) function is used to save the current time. When calculating the time-difference, the same function is used to get the current time-stamp which is compared to the value inside the database. Thats why I dont understand why there is a difference. The only thing I can assume is that MySQL is maybe doing something with the time-value.
