-4 hour offset on initial save

Good catch :) I assume you're saving the date and time as a timestamp ? I also believe your clients server is in a different timezone than they are in ?

Btw, if you're having a paying client, I wouldn't say no to a donation :)

Hi,
I am saving it as a timestamp.
I was able to find that the problem is in the fact that on initial save, it
thinks timezone is UTC. On subsequent, it knows that it's timezone is EST
(EDT right now) so +4hrs at the moment. I'll consider a donation if you are
able to fix this bug for us.

Thanks.

Is the server in the same timezone as the client ? Reason I ask is that I suspect that PHP default timezone isn't the same as the customers. You can check this by checking phpinfo. Look for "Default timezone".

A quick fix would be to add date_default_timezone_set to the (child) theme functions.php

Try this (not tested .. yet):

date_default_timezone_set(get_option('timezone_string')); // get the timezone from Settings->General

Client is in the same timezone as me.

Trying what you just wrote.

and by the way in functions.php we have

date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'), which is the correct time
zone.

The odd thing about this is that it only happens on initial save.
Subsequent saves retain the correct time so I'm reluctant to just add +5 to
the time because subsequent saves calculate the time correctly.

Nope, same result.

Ok. Back to the drawing board (i.e. I'll have to do some testing). I'll get back to you.

[soderlind]

hmm .. what's the date time format string you are using ? I'm tryng to replicate your problem but it works fine on my server.

[soderlind]

.. and it's in the post where you set the date and time that you're getting the wrong time when you're saving the post (the first time) ?

[tzweiner]

When I'm looking at the post edit screen i see the following:

yy-mm-dd hh:mm tt

After I select from the popup and the slider, I get

2013-09-26 01:00 pm

This maybe of some use.

In update_value if I do
var_dump (date_default_timezone_get());

as the first line in the method, I get UTC (when it should be America/New
York) on initial save. After that it knows that it's America/New York.
I disabled all my plugins to make sure something wasn't getting set in one
of them. No difference.

According to this comment, timezone should be UTC. Try to comment out date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');in your functions.php

[tzweiner]

That did it!
Thanks a bunch. I'll put in a good word with my supervisors.
