Hello!<\/p>\n

I’m stuck with a timezone issue and don’t know how to debug it any further.<\/p>\n

I moved to another host earlier with more than 10 WordPress sites and each of them show the same behaviour. All of them are up-to-date to the newest version and the newest plugin versions. The server uses PHP 7.0.4, but I set it to 5.6.19 as well with no effect on the problem.<\/p>\n

Expected behaviour:
\n– Timezone in WordPress settings is set to \u201dBerlin\u201c (which is the correct location)
\n– Time is shown correctly when creating posts and pages
\n– Posts and pages are published immediately when hitting \u201dPublish\u201c
\n– Server timezone can safely be set to UTC<\/p>\n

Actual behaviour:
\n– Posts and pages show as \u201dplanned\u201c when I hit \u201dPublish\u201c, planned for the exact same time the clock shows right now
\n– Posts and pages will be published one hour after actual publishing
\n– Setting the timezone in WordPress settings to UTC+2 (or UTC+1 with \u201dstandard time\u201c) fixes the issue completely
\n– Setting the server’s timezone to \u201dEurope\/Berlin\u201c (like it used to be on my old host) has no effect whatsoever<\/p>\n

I appreciate any ideas about what I could do to debug this any further or which changes I could ask my host for to make it work with timezone strings again.<\/p>\n

Thanks

I’ve added screenshots of the date settings.<\/p>\n
