 * Hi
 * first of all i am using the pro version (licenced)
 * i was trying to have “NOW” date & time to be auto display without the needs to
   click on “NOW”.
 * i was giving this piece of code but unfortunately it did not do the job:
 * —————————————
 * add_filter(‘acf/load_field/name=YOUR_DATE_FIELD’, ‘my_acf_default_date’);
 * function my_acf_default_date($field) {
 * $field[‘default_value’] = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’);
 * return $field;
    } ——————————————–
 * the “Now” time and date auto displaying with the above code but unfortunately
   the NOW time and date not correct.
 * example:
 * my Sydney Australia current time / desktop time was: 11/09/2019 1:11 AM
 * on my sites NOW ACF datepicker is displaying: 10/09/ 3:11 PM instead of 11/09/
   2019 1:11 AM
 * thanks
