Thank you Tom J Nowell for the insightful comment above. Turns out that wp_timezone is a relatively recent addition to WordPress, and didn’t exist in the version of WP I was developing in. It was added, as the Changelog says, in v5.3. I was using v5.2. The function itself: function wp_timezone() { return new DateTimeZone( … Read more
Since WordPress is a server-side framework/CMS, it likely doesn’t have the functionality you’re looking for. If you’re looking for ways to obtain this information, the most reliable would likely be to ask the user. To make it as painless as possible for the user, this functionality could be achieved via client-side scripting (ie. JavaScript) where … Read more
In functions.php if I add date_default_timezone_set( get_option(‘timezone_string’) ); then $dt will output correctly with “PST”. Yes, but, “don’t change PHP time zone with date_default_timezone_set() (this one is hard requirement for correct core operation!)” — https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/09/23/date-time-improvements-wp-5-3/. I didn’t think I needed to explicitly set the timezone since I already set it in WordPress WordPress does use … Read more
The problem was simple – My wordpress was set up for a general timezone. After picking a city it knew everything about daylight saving time.
This mission is almost impossible. Players do not stay at one timezone therefor associating a timezone with a player can result in misleading and confusing output. What you can do is move all time to be expressed at a specific time base, lets say UTC, and write some JS that will translate the UTC time … Read more
Enter wp_timezone_choice(): <select> <?php echo wp_timezone_choice( ‘UTC’ ) ?> </select> Make sure to check out the documentation link, but the parameters are: $selected_zone (string) (Required) Selected timezone. $locale (string) (Optional) Locale to load the timezones in. Default current site locale.
When I began troubleshooting this issue, I viewed the lack of a value for gmt_offset as the culprit, and considered the server to be solid. But after I updated the gmt_offset value in the database and the error persisted, I knew I’d been mistaken. An admin had posted to a WP forum indicating that, despite … Read more
So what you need to do is make your life easier and instead of searching everything within every instance of .pp-post-content or .pp-post-content p, let’s wrap the times or the times in question with a span tag. Like you suggested in your comments <span class=”tas-event-time”> is sufficient enough. Now, in your .js file, you want … Read more
… why the timezone is set to UTC instead of what the value I’ve set in the WordPress-settings-page WordPress calculates offsets from UTC, therefore WordPress sets the default time zone to UTC and not the specific time zone you selected in the Settings → General admin page. Is it a big performance-hit, to leave my … Read more
Used date_i18n instead of current_time. For example: echo date_i18n( ‘Y. F j.’, strtotime( get_the_time( “Y-m-d” ) ) );
