Registered Date and Time not correct

When a person registers the date that they register is shown correctly but the time is 2 hours earlier than actually happened. I’ve verified that the general settings in event espresso show the correct local time and the general settings for wordpress show the correct local time but the registration still shows 2 hours earlier. Any suggestions on where I can make a change to get the right time to show?

Thanks
Randy

Hi Randy,

There is a Default timezone setting on the server, which you can find by looking at the phpinfo settings that will tell which timezone the server is set to. In this case, it sounds like PHP is set to a timezone that is two zones to the west of where you are at. If you don’t have a way to access phpinfo easily, there are WordPress plugins you can install that will help you find this information.

You can override that setting by editing the php.ini file on the line where it says:

date.timezone =

accepted timezones are listed here:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

If you do not have access to the php.ini file, you can add something like this to the top of wp-config.php and that will do the same thing:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Detriot');
