# Default Date/Time Offset keeps changing

 * I mainly need to delete posts at the same time on the following day so the default
   Time/Date Offest is handy. I think it worked initially but can’t quite remember
   when the following issue started cropping up:
   Under Settings > General tab, I
   have the Default Date/Time Offset set to:** +1 day 6:30 pm**The preview displays
   the results as expected and if I click Save Changes and create a new post or 
   edit an existing one, it appears to work when I tick “Enable Future Action”. 
   That is, it will insert tomorrow’s date at 6.30pm by default.However, the next
   time I log in to my WordPress backend to create a new post, it reverts back to
   a default of 7.30pm for some reason. So I have to either manually enter the time,
   or go back to Settings > General and click Save Changes again, which only works
   immediately and again, reverts back to 7.30pm next time I try to post. So it 
   kind of defeats the purpose!I’m currently on version 4.9.4 but this has been 
   happening through the last few updates.

 * Hi [@austbest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/austbest/). Thanks for using
   PublishPress.
 * Can you clarify what changes between when it works and when it doesn’t work? 
   Is it enough to simply log out of the site and then log in again?
 * Does it help if you try a different browser?
