    Hi,

    this was reported earlier, but seems to have broken again lately. I’m using plugin version 2.5.5. The log entries are two hours off, so a change done only a few moments ago is reported as “2 hours ago”. My timezone is set to “Berlin”.

    I had similar issues with another plugin as well, so maybe it’s something deeper down the WordPress core…

    5 Minutes ago – for me was 9:13am EST

    The line in the Simple History pop up.
    Updated plugin
    date 2016-05-16 13:13:14

    So even though it said “5 minutes ago” in the dashboard the actual stamp is UTC (-4) for me.

    13:13 is the correct UTC time

    My WordPress install is set to Detroit EST
    On the linux server our “TZ” is set also to EST

    I’m assuming your host or if you have ssh access can update the timezone of the server. The 2 hour error likely is on that box.

    On Ubuntu:

    sudo timedatectl set-timezone EST

    In Berlin it should be euberl00

    Germany (most areas) UTC offset is +01:00 UTC and +DTC offset is +02:00. In 1945, the Trizone did not follow Berlin’s switch to DST, see Time in Germany – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Germany

    I think that’s the missing 2 hours
