Date Format bug for "Registered Days Ago" field

Hi Garry,
sorry – thought I had replied to this.
The lists get cached, so times will not be updated until cache gets updated.
Number of posts with info:
https://wpusersplugin.com/?s=cache

I do update the cache every time just before I run the report.

I’m just questioning the date math with your formatting.
Trying to figure out what you were trying to accomplish.

HI Garry, sorry about the delay in getting back to this. I’ve been on the road and somehow it slipped off the to-do list.

I’m not able to replicate the problems you are seeing.
Depending on your setup, the plugin uses either wordpress’s human date time function https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/human_time_diff

(this does an approx. ie it will say a day when it’s about a day. It won;t say 1 day 3 hours 2 mins, 12 secs for example)

OR

the php datetime diff method to calculate the interval
https://php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php.

From your example above it would appear that your system is not even returning time differences that are proportional (incorrect or correct). Since I’m not experiencing the same problem, one has to try work out what is different in yours.
can you advise:
php version ?
wp version ?
wp timezone?
other plugins that may be affecting the timezone?

wp uses UTC for all it’s datetimes. Some plugins (including me a while back), don’t realise this and ‘set’ the php default timezone. THis can cause hard to debug problems. If you still wish to debug this, you may have to try debug a clash https://webdesign.anmari.com/2932/debugging-a-possible-clash-between-plugins-andor-a-theme/

I finally updated all plugins and wordpress.
php version 5.4
wordpress version 4.1
wp timezone Vancouver (PST) UTC – 8hrs

I deactivated all plugins except this one and rebuilt the cache

No change

Perhaps the easiest thing to do is provide a different function to format the date.

Could you point me in the right direction.
I can easily write a php script which gets the date diference between now and date registered and formats it properly.

My question is where do I hook in the code? How do I get a new field to show up in your list?

Read https://wpusersplugin.com/2823/formatting-and-pluggable-functions/

and have a look at functions

ausers_format_user_registered
and
amr_human_time_diff

write your OWN plugin to provide and thus overwrite these functions and you will then still be able to apply upgrades.

I found time this morning to write my own plugin.
It now works as expected.
really didn’t take much code at all.

No it wouldn’t ?? – great you got a working solution for you!
