    Is the Date/Time at the top right of the Twitter Feed widget displaying the current date/time for which a viewer may be seeing the widget? Or is it/could it reflect the date/time for which the Tweet was originally made??

    Please advise! Thank you!
    Awesome work with this…really simple to use/update for our website!

    ROCK ON!

    Hi carenet130,

    I am really pleased you like the plugin. It should display the time the Tweet was originally made, using the UTC date/time from Twitter and the UTC offset set on your Twitter account.

    Does it seem to be displaying the wrong time to you?

    The display shows one date for all of the tweets…which I know a couple of them should reflect March 8th for the original?

    Hi carenet130,

    Would it be possible for me to see the live site, so that I can compare what it is showing with what is on Twitter? This will help me work out where it is going wrong!

    Hi carenet130,

    That is perfect, thank you. No need for login details. This is enough to let me compare the datetimes from the plugin and on Twitter, which should allow me to work out where it is going wrong.

    Could you just confirm what timezone/offset your Twitter account is set to?

    Hi carenet130,

    So far I can see that the date-time the plugin is showing is the same as the Twitter.com website, with two differences.

    1) For Re-Tweets the plugin displays the time you Re-Tweeted, not when the original Tweet was made. This is the opposite way round to the Twitter website, which always shows the original time. It seems like the plugin should directly reflect the Twitter website, what do you think?

    2) When the plugin decides if a Tweet was in the past 24 hours, to see if it should display the time in timeago format (.e.g 15 hours ago), it does not adjust this for the accounts timezone, which has caused it to wrongly show the date on your latest Tweet. I have added this to the list for the next update. Probably tonight or tomorrow.
