Found this. Modified a bit to offset in hours, and it sorta works, not totally though… does weird stuff with the time if it’s close to midnight. Original here function cc_time_machine( $formatted, $format ) { $offset = -3; // Offset in hours, can be negative. if ( $offset ) { global $post; $timestamp = get_post_time( … Read more
Summary: WordPress does run date_default_timezone_set( ‘UTC’ );. It does have a timezone option modifiable by the admins and retrieved using get_option( ‘timezone_string’ ). However, none of that has any effect on the query run through $wpdb. You should get the same results from $wpdb as if you had run the MySQL query without WordPress. Details … Read more
This is set inside your database and is also used inside PHP settings on the server. Double check the PHP settings if you can control them. There is a timezone parameter that you can enter into PHP.ini (PHP -v shows you all of this). For MySQL… You’d need to look at global setting which I’m … Read more
If we want to work with php’s datetime features and timezone objects AND handle sites that use a gmt_offset, sadly it does require some trickery. I have not found a better way to do it than this: Check for timezone string first – got one – great! Else Check for gmt offset, then try to … Read more

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_gmt_from_date Replace all instances of get_the_date or the_date with echo get_gmt_from_date(get_the_date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’)). That’s not a quick fix, it’s a way to fix your sitemaps. EDIT: WordPress SEO runs it’s raw dates from MySQL through a WP function called mysql2date, which in turn calls date_i18n. date_i18n happens to have a handy filter which you can tie … Read more
Almost, WP Cron jobs do not run at specific times, they are approximate, and all timestamps should be UTC, as WordPress always deals in UTC timestamps. If you want midnight PST, you’ll want to specify 8PM UTC. Also for example, your above code suggests midnight PST, but it may not run at midnight PST. If … Read more
What is the purpose of the timezone setting in the Admin -> Settings section? Since WordPress handles time zone on its own (separately from native PHP functionality) that is where the setting made and result is stored in options. Whenever anything that works with timezones needs to happen, the time zone setting is retrieved and … Read more
The issue is that for correct output WP needs to process date through date_i18n() function. When you use date format, hardcoded in PHP code (not simply saved in PHP DATE_* constant) like ‘c’ – it’s not available to your code and so for WP to process. System-wide fix would be to re-process date with analogous … Read more
