Dates are gmt don’t work

Hi @servitel

Thanks for reaching out!

I understand that you’re experiencing an issue with retrieving products using the dates_are_gmt parameter.

Based on the information you’ve provided, it seems that the dates_are_gmt flag is not working as expected when you pass the modified_after parameter, correct?

As a first step, please ensure that you are using the latest versions of WooCommerce and WooCommerce REST API.

Then, can you please share as well the API request you are using for us to check this further?

Meanwhile, I will be sharing the techncial documentation about Woo REST API for your reference as well: https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/

Hope this helps!

Hello @servitel,

I have a strange issue. I want to retrieve products under woocommerce using dates_are_gmt. I pass a date and dates_are_gmt=true

From my testing, the filter is working fine, it’s returning only products after a certain time in GMT.

You might have a syntax error in one of the parameters which ignore everything after it.

Have you tried using the modified_after and dates_are_gmt parameters alone?

If that didn’t help, please attach a screenshot of your WordPress time settings in Settings > General.

Look forward to hearing back from you.

/wp-json/wc/v3/products/?consumer_key=ck_xxx&consumer_secret=cs_xxx&modified_after=2023-04-13T18:35:02&status=publish&order=asc&per_page=100&dates_are_gmt=1

I tried replicating the issue again, this time with your exact same call but the filter was applied with no problem.

The only objects to which the filter was not applied were the product images, which is expected since the filter is designed for product post types.

I suggest you try switching the site’s timezone to GMT or any other timezone.

If that doesn’t help, then please try disabling all plugins except WooCommerce while activating the default Storefront theme.

If the problem is not present after doing so, then you know there was a plugin conflict. You can enable plugins one by one again to find the culprit.

Let us know how it goes!

I have no chances, just write a function at my end to fix this strange issue !

I understand your frustration at this point. Since you’ve mentioned that the problem is present on multiple WordPress installations, I suggest you report this in the GitHub repository.

Perhaps the developers there will have better luck replicating the issue. 🙂

Cheers!
