Problems with timezone when using new function wp_date()

I might have fixed it…

To remove the additional timezone from site settings I have added a third parameter:

$zone = new DateTimeZone('UTC');
wp_date( $dateformat, esc_attr( $date ), $zone )

Guess this is the proper way to fix it?

the time function of php returns a timestamp independent of the offeset.
date_format uses the offset of the php script you can solve globally From php 5.1 https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php intstead of setting for data_format from PHP 5.2.1 https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php
PHP 5.2.0:
For UTC if is timestamp: https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.settimezone.php
For all eccept UTC if is timestamp DateTimeZone: https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php
Example: $date = new DateTime($time,new DateTimeZone("UTC"));
$time not timestamp.
if globally imposed, functions like strtotime have the expected results (your scripts or other scripts executed after you).

Date/Time component improvements in WordPress 5.3

the real question is WordPress set always as UTC (globally) in the core? I can’t answer because the documentation is missing.

@guido07111975 sorry I had forgotten, that you are using wp_date correctly.
Edit is not recommended to set globally rather use DateTimeZone.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I did update my plugin and it seems to be solved now ??
