# Timezone/timestamp issue

 * There was a mention [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-timestamp?replies=8)
   of people having strange timestamp issues (new tweets show 7 hours ago, then 
   hours go down).
 * One thing that I’ve been able to do to fix this: Going to Settings -> General,
   and changing my timezone to UTC. If I use my city name, or UTC-7, etc., I still
   have an issue. This definitely doesn’t seem to affect all users, and I used a
   widget from another developer and had the same exact issue. At least this pins
   it down on WordPress settings and not php/server/Twitter time (in my opinion).
 * Is there some code that can be added (I would volunteer to update my site to 
   try it out) to fix this? Maybe a settings box programmed to use UTC in lieu of
   whatever WordPress timezone settings are? It would seem that since changing WordPress
   time fixes this for me, the widget is using that time in some fashion. Thanks!

 * Did anybody ever find a fix for this? We’re having the same problem on a client
   site… switching to UTC is not an option for us. We need to display in the correct
   time zone.
