set what to utc-6? there is the wp time setting on wp – settings – general which should match the timzone of your server…

then you should set the timzone in your sp profile to match your actual timezone…

are both of those set properly?

Yes, the timezone on my profile and the time in my backend ALL match to UTC-6

which is the same as actual server time?

dont seem able to recreate but could be because of the three interactions… how much is it off by?

Can you try something for me? rather than using UTC-6, can you select an actual timezone (ie city) from the dropdowns and see if it makes any difference?

Time still not working!

Tried Denver, and UTC 6, and they still now say it’s 2:30p.m when it’s 7:20!

Let’s start over.
Using the city timezone options where, exactly, is your server?
What timezone is your WP setting set to.
What timezone is your personal profile set to?

WordPress timezone: UTC-6 (correct time for Denver)

Forum Timezone: UTC-6

My Timezone: Denver

If I change it to UTC-6, it’s still off.

just to be sure… you server is really located in Denver too? the wp timezone needs to be set to the actual server timezone, not your timezone… so just checking…

Got it solved!

First, my wp-time zone was set wrong- denver is UTC-7. Don’t know why it got changed.

And the “change timezone” in your profile settings UTC is to set the offset from the server timezone, not just change the UTC in general from UTC-7.

Got it working; thanks!

good news indeed! thanks for update.

Guys, Thanks for this thread.  I had “server time zone set to: unknown”  In my case I had WP set to UTC -4 in WP options which showed the local server time correctly.  I could not find anything in SP to fix my 4 hour time discrepancy.  Turns out that when I switched my WP setting from the UTC offset to “detroit” then SP picked it up and the problem was solved right away. 

And thank you for searching for and finding the solution!
