 * I just installed 3.1 and have timezone problems.
 * I have always had to edit the wp-settings.php file to manually set for my proper
   timezone but this time it did not work. It does not matter what I have set in
   the General settings. It seems to look to UTC time regardless of anything I set.
 * Any ideas? The edit I have had to do in the past is below.
 * date_default_timezone_set(‘UTC’);
 * to
 * date_default_timezone_set(‘America/Phoenix’);
