Date Formatting

    This is a minor question but I cannot see to figure out the answer which was intuitive. The Date field which I can add to a header or footer or subject {date} is showing only UTC which is really confusing to my end users. I double checked the PHP.INI and the settings are set to US/Pacific. I made sure the Ubuntu settings were the correct timezone as well. I even typed a quick php file to check to see it as displayed properly. And it shows correctly in my test file <?php echo “The time is ” . date(“F j, Y g:i a e”); ?> and it shows the right time zone. So I am baffled why UTC is still shown since I tested it inside php on my server and wordpress. Is there some other function you are using? the help info shows to look at php.net for format codes too. So stands to reason I should get what is displayed. But I do not. Help.

    Hi,
    thanks for reaching out.
    What setting are you using currently? Can you write the strings you have in the “Date/Time format in WP Mailster” and “Date-only format in WP Mailster” fields?

    Thanks.

    Regards,
    Holger

    The format is F j, Y g:i a but that is not relevant. It is displaying as UTC in content if I use the {date} field. And I had to remove it because it is very confusing to my end users. This is not complicated. I want it to display in MY timezone not UTC. How do I accomplish this???

    Ok, I see.

    At the moment we take the timezone of the server (more specific: the database) as the basis. If that timezone differs from your timezone, then you have a difference.

    As of now we have not implemented a mechanism of dealing with the difference, but we already have this on our list of planned improvements and will introduce it in one of the next releases.
