 * When I enter a new date via a date field, I’m getting the date set to the day
   before.
 * I’m running the latest version of PDB; I did recently change servers, but I don’t
   understand how that would have changed anything.
 * Mahalo!

 * My current server uses UTC as its base time. Setting the WordPress timezone to
   UTC-10 seems to work fine for other plug ins, such as The Events Calendar. Whether
   I set the “Sync PHP Timezone” or not, I still see the date recorded in PDB as
   being off by ~10 hours.

 * OK, I read the blog on this topic; for me, changing the WP timezone to “Honolulu”
   versus “UTC-10” seems to have fixed PDB’s issue.It seems very strange that this
   would make a difference.

 * Thanks for letting us know what fixed it. I’ve seen this before and don’t know
   what to make of it, but it works.
