   The UTC Time is saying it is August 30th, 2009 17:27, when right now it is November 5th, 2009 12:27 est

   Can anyone suggest anything to fix this?

   Check with your host to see if that server has correct time set.

   I had a similar problem.
   Time on my blog was 4 hours ahead of our timezone.
   Most of the forums I read indicated the problem was with my host and the php.ini file. I contacted my host (bluehost) and they gave me directions on changing the timezone in the .ini file. (cpanel--file manager--(public_html) folder--change the line date.timezone = "America/New_York";
   Only nothing changed.

   My host said they tested my php.ini file and it was correct, so that something was wrong in my WP installation.

   I also tried the WP admin general settings by changing the UTC to UTC-5 (my timezone) as well as changing the city several times. Nothing changed the UTC time no matter what settings I chose.

   So I searched under forums on UTC and found someone who said they solved their time problem by adding this code to their index.php file.
   <?php date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); ?>

   I tried adding it to the index.php, but it didn't work. However, I then tried adding it to my header.php, and that did work.
