Tweet date time at correct time zone

Looks like the tweets are showing created time based on GTM(0) and not reflecting the user or blog time zone.

Since each Twitter user setup their own time zone in Twitter account setting, can API read that value and reflect the correct time zone based on the user who tweeted?

If not, alternative is to read the WordPress time zone setting to display adjusted tweeted time.

Hi @elishaterada, I’ll see if this can be changed in the next plugin update 🙂

In v1.0.3 I’ve changed the date/time to use date_i18n, so hopefully now it should be localised 🙂

I am having this same problem and I have v1.0.3.

So if MatthewRuddy said he updated it, it must be something I am doing wrong on my end?

@canadian_redhead, by how many hours is your time out? What timezone is being displayed?

@matthewruddy It is still posting at UTC time. It said 2:43pm, when I actually posted at 8:43am my time (Mountain standard time).

Weird. I’ll have a look into it for you and see what I can do for the next update 🙂

@matthewruddy I also have the newest version of the plugin and my tweets are displaying UTC time while it is CDT my time.

Overall, I love your plug in. Thank you for making it!

Any update on the fix for this date issue?

I am also having this problem, any word on a fix?

Also, my timing is off by about 4 hours and I’m in EST. Example: Tweet was posted at 2pm and is displaying 6pm.

My tweets are 4 hours off as well.
I made a the last tweet at 6:00pm and it shows 10:03pm, and it’s not even 10:03pm as yet.
See for yourself: http://www.mountainsidesdachurch.org/
Keep me posted.

I’m also experiencing this problem on a client’s website. Currently the timezone is set to Pacific Time (Los Angeles) and the displays are currently 7 hours off.
For example, the latest tweet was made at 3:42PM but is displaying as 10:42PM on their site.

I’ve also double checked that I’m running v1.0.3 which includes the date_i18n update mentioned above.

Thanks.

Great plugin. I’m still running into the same timezone issue though, and it’s a big enough deal to my client that I’ll need to find an alternative if I can’t get the timezone to display properly. The client is in Central Time, is there a way I can hard-code that somewhere since the automatic thing isn’t working?

Hello,

This thread is marked as resolved, but I’m still seeing the issue – tweets are displayed five hours ahead of their scheduled time (EST) and can’t seem to find a solution.

Any help on how to fix this (even if it involves a manual fix) would be greatly appreciated!
