Hi guys,

 

I just upgraded my current forum to the latest mini-patch regarding the security issue via the update schedule in WP and now my forum is experiencing issues relating to the timestamp when posting replies to existing topics.For posts that were made today, we're seeing "seconds" on the last posts column and in the widget. Same thing happens when creating a new topic, - I get a "-28793 seconds ago" as a last post.  Is there a way of fixing this problem? Do I need to update my themes as well? I have a tweaked theme based on black-gold. We need this resolved as soon as possible.

 

Here are the images of the issues:

Cheers.

 

**EDIT** Managed to fix the issue with forum timestamps not showing right on the forum. I changed my wordpress to associated with an actual city location rather than a UTC but the widget is still having the issue.

Could you tell me what the setting was for the WP server originally and also what your setting was personally in your SP profile? Would like to see if I can replicate this....

Setting was on UTC 8 (Changed to Perth which fixed the forums)for WP server and SP Profile ins on Australia/Perth.  Members across Oceania are getting the same issue with the widget.  Forums is fine though now.

I might have worked out the problem with the widget. I have someone who is going to run some tests later today so I will know soon. If I haven't replied by tomorrow morning can you give me another shout on this?

I am experiencing a 4 hour difference in my posts.

Server is in -4 and my time is -5. Time in WordPress setting page is correct. As is my profile settings in SP. Is there any other place in SP to set the time zone?

Thanks.. smile

Sorry -   to answer your question - there is nowhere else.

do you have easy access to your database and know your way around in one? If so would it be possible for you to take a quick look at the 'sfposts' table - at a recent forum post (highest post_id) to check of the post time recorded is accurate with your WP server setting?

Looks like something is hokey. I'm 1 hour away from my server Hostgator in Dallas TX.

Just did a time test post. From the DB: Time 2012-03-29 16:59:27
