    Hello,
    Since yesterday the last login times under the Date/Time column are shown as “in 5 hours”. This also happened for the case when I was logged in.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Since we haven’t released a new version during this week, it is safe to assume that this is not a problem with the plugin’s code but with the server environment. Taking a wild guess, I would say that your server was updated and the timezone changed.

    Go to the plugin’ settings page, at the bottom of the “General” section you will find a panel called “Timezone”; configure this option according to the information provided by your own web server.

    Marking as resolved, feel free to re-open if you need more information.

    Thanks yorman, for the quick reply. I changed the settings but no change. What’s confusing for me is instead of saying “x hours ago” like it always did, it’s now saying “in x hours” which is hard to understand. Here is a screenshot

    The “in x hours” means that the timestamp that was stored in the logs is in the future compared to the current timestamp reported by the web server. This only happens if the timezone of the server is different than the timezone that was being used when the logs were written into disk.

    For example, lets say that yesterday the server had timezone UTC-0000 and the plugin registered six logs at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6:00 pm but today someone changed the timezone of the server to UTC-0700 which makes the values in the log file appear as if they were in the future because UTC-07 is on the left of UTC-00.

    Ask your hosting provider to see if they changed something since yesterday.
