Hi,
1. Posting from the back or frontend?
2. Is the date in the backend correct?
3. Does this happen to other post types, such as posts?
4. Can you screenshot me your WP timezone settings.
Thanks
1. The posts are created by the client (front end)
2. The date in the back end look to be correct for the Sydney timezone
3. Posts (blog posts) seem to be OK but it could also be because we don’t have a time on it just a date… ie the one just posted says 20 October and it was published 9 minutes ago
4. screenshot of timezone settings:

(included my system tray so you can see our local time)
This is the code in question:
<li class="date"><date><?php printf( __( '%s ago', 'wp-job-manager' ), human_time_diff( get_post_time( 'U' ), current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) ); ?></date></li>
get_post_time gets the localised time: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_post_time
current_time gets the local time too:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_time
I suspect something in your environment (plugin, custom code) is breaking 1 of these functions. Are you able to var_dump() their values to see which one?
I installed a debug tool and did a Plugin Variables (is this the same data out of var_dump? — any clues on what I’m looking for?
This is under wp_filter
[503] => delete_option_timezone_string
[504] => update_option_timezone_string
[505] => add_option_timezone_string
and under itsec_globals
[11] => current_time
[12] => current_time_gmt
The other settings all look OK?
If you temporarily edit your theme’s footer.php and add:
<?php
var_dump( date( get_option( ‘time_format’ ), current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) ) );
?>
Lets see if that time matches your settings. Remove it when you’ve checked.
OK that is showing the wrong time
string(7) “6:46 pm”
(it’s currently 7.46am here)
And I’m removing it now…
Right – this is why you’re seeing the issue. Something you have must be changing it. If you view the docs for the function:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_time
Returns the blog’s current local time in the specified format.
The local time returned is based on the timezone set on the blog’s General Settings page, which is UTC by default.
You’ll need to look into why this isn’t working on your install.
Thanks Mike! Appreciate your help esp as it’s really got nothing to do with either WP Job Manager or Jobify (both of which we love)
Good luck with your search 🙂
