    The plugin on the WP menu is using the local time properly, but the tile on the WP dashboard is using universal time, not the local time.

    Thanks for the report! I think you are correct and it’s been like this since last version. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will fix in next version!

    @digregp any chance you could post a side by side screenshot showing both the dashboard and the main log, taken at the same time, showing the time differences?

    @eskapism Good morning. I would rather not as it contains user logon data. Just know that the dashboard is showing the same events, just with a time 4 hours earlier. Our timezone is set to America/New York.

    Hello. I saw you released an updated version. I do not see that the dashboard widget/tile, or the history at the top toolbar of the WordPress admin menu has been corrected.

    I was unable to reproduce it ao apparently the datetime related fixes I made did not fix your issue.

    If you can’t show screenshots can you explain in words more exactly what you see , like exact times for an event on both places. Time zone related issues are also hard to debug due to the possibility that web server, database server, and user browser/os can all be in different timezones. Any chance you could tell me what zones you have set?

    Hopefully this will make it possible to reproduce it correctly …

    Ok I will explain the issue in more detail.
    See image below
    The left menu has a Simple History link to your plugin. When I click on that and it opens the simple history page, the event times are correct. They conform to our set timezone.
    In the image below, Hostgator provides a dashboard and under the screen options dropdown on the upper right, you can select Simple History which creates a tile on the dashboard. The events listed in that tile are the same as on the simple history page, but the times are UTC. They do not conform to the system set timezone. So can you please check if your dashboard tile is simply using UTC, or if uses the WordPress set timezone. Hope this helps.
