The plugin does not do the age calculation well.

Hi Joe,

I think there may be a timezone issue, all my tests have so far not managed to get the wrong age. However, looking at the timezone of my dev server it is reading UTC, whereas WordPress is set to London. I wonder if that is causing an issue potentially.

I suspected this as when you reported this, you said it was the 3/6, but in the UK it was still the 2nd!

I’m going to look into it and see if I can get some sort of resolution. I am going to be away though for a few days, but I’ll try and get something worked out before then.

If you could let me know what your settings are though that’d be useful, fi you add the following to your themes functions.php and just paste the output into a reply:

echo "<pre>";
wp_die('Date: ' . date_default_timezone_get() . PHP_EOL . 'WP: ' . get_option('timezone_string'));

Then just delete those lines again.

Thanks,
Phil

Hello Phil, today I updated and now I enter correctly without touching anything …

I have tried the code that you indicated to me but it does not work for me, it only appears on a blank page:

Date: UTC
WP:

no data.

The configuration of my WP is UTC + 2 (I’m in Spain).

Thanks for this great plugin. 5*

Greetings.

Hi Joe,

I think it’s a possible timezone issue where there’s a crossover of days. I’ve added some extra timezone checks to try and better calculate age based on the settings in WP and falling back to the server if need be.

Based on the info above, it will calculate on UTC, so there’s a two hour window in Spain where a user could be old enough but not get through.

The WP setting indicates you’re using the standard language in WordPress. Based on that, I think I may add my own setting to override the timezone within the plugin itself.

Thanks
Phil
