    Hello, everyone,
    I use HD Quiz with a lot of fun. however, I run into a problem, I use WordPress with the time zone Amsterdam. however, in the HD Quiz results the date/time format, does not match my time zone Amsterdam.
    I just made the quiz 06-15-2020 05:48:33 pm (Amsterdam time) but the results indicate the next date/time at 06-15-2020 03:48:33 pm.

    How can I set the results to match the WordPress time I entered (Amsterdam time zone)?

    Hi riru90,
    it looks like your server is set to GMT0 (default Greenwich Mean Time). The Save Results Light addon (which, in the future, please use the dedicated forum for that addon plugin – makes support easier) currently does not use WordPress’ timezone, but instead uses your server’s timezone. A future update to the addon will attempt to use the WordPress timezone first, and the server timezone as a fallback.

    If you want, for now, you can edit the addon plugin to manually set the timezone by copy/pasting a single line of code.

    From you admin area, go to plugins -> plugin editor. From there, select the Save Results Light addon from the dropdown on the top right. Now navigate to ./includes/functions.php file.

    On lines 60 and 61, you will see:

        // save the date and time
    $result->datetime = date('m-d-Y h:i:s a', time());

    replace this with:

        // save the date and time
    date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam');
    $result->datetime = date('m-d-Y h:i:s a', time());

    The only change to the above code is the inclusion of date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam'); which will tell PHPs date function to use the Europe/Amsterdam timezone.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the update, glad to hear that in a plugin update it will be possible to first use the WordPress time for the server time.
    I will therefore wait for the update and not make any manual adjustments.

    Do you have any idea when this feature will be available?

    Thanks a lot for this good idea.

    If French people read this, they can modify like that:

    // save the date and time
    date_default_timezone_set(‘Europe/Paris’);
    $result->datetime = date(‘j M Y H:i:s’, time());

    And they will get that (Jul is to be sure it’s the month):

    9 Jul 2020 16:09:25

    I know it’s possible to write “Juil” but it’s not really necessary (too complicated, just for snobs admins or to display to hundreds of visitors…) : https://php.developpez.com/faq/?page=dates#date_jourfr
