WordPress doesn’t have “tweeting” functionality built in. However, post scheduling is built in. You just set the time when you want the post to publish on the edit post screen. If you use a twitter plugin like my own Simple Twitter Connect, and you schedule a post, then it will send the tweet at the … Read more
I agree with Ajay. The plugin isn’t using __()/_e() function
the_time() doesn’t return the current time, it returns the time of the current post, also it echoes the result. If you need the current time, simply use PHPs native time() function.
Your computer’s time and your server’s time may not be exactly synchronized. So you may be seeing some pseudo-issues because of that. I don’t know where you are seeing “published 1 minute ago”, or anything like that, in the backend. I see a “published on” date and a “last edited” date but those are ‘hard’ … Read more
When using date function it is recommanded to use date format or time format of the installation : get_option(‘time_format’); get_option(‘date_format’); This allows you to grab date format or time format of the current installation.
I think the safest way to handle it is to use the API to get the local time as set in WordPress settings- $today = date( ‘d M Y – D – h:i A’, current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) ); EDIT- apparently current_time also accepts a PHP date string now as of version 3.9, so you can … Read more
You need to grab the WordPress date option on the first parameter of date_i18n function : date_i18n( get_option( ‘date_format’ ), strtotime( ’11/15-1976′ ) ); You can see this example in the function codex page : date_i18n()
You might need to convert the time to timestamps (not php time formatting) for comparison purposes. I always found that it solved a lot of my event issues.
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 publish date is either when the post is originally published, or the date that you choose to set it as published in the Editor, so that is the part you can manually control. The modified date is whenever an update has most recently occurred, such as when the Update button is pressed in the … Read more
