 * Hello,
 * I searched for this topic on the forum but could not find an answer.
 * when I create posts in the PublishPress Calendar and then navigate away from 
   it, when I return, the dates have randomly changed. Usually, all the posts are
   pushed a day behind from when I had scheduled them (so the first post goes one
   day before and then all the other posts follow). If I re-position them again,
   the next time I navigate away and back they stay in place.
 * To make it a little more clear:
 * Say I scheduled posts for January 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th. When I navigate away
   from the calendar and then return, they’re now scheduled for the 24th, 25th, 
   26th, and 27th. If I reposition them and navigate away again, when I return, 
   they’re still where I repositioned them.
 * Is there any way to stop the dates from moving when I don’t want them to?
 * Hopefully this makes sense; thanks for any help.
 * Mariana

 * hi [@marianamcdougall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marianamcdougall/)
 * This definitely isn’t normal behavior for PublishPress.
 * This may be possible mismatch in time zones. I wonder if your site and your server
   are using different timezones, perhaps.
 * Does it help if you set the publishing time to 8 am or later?

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for your quick response!
 * This is happening when I create the posts directly on the calendar, so I have
   not set publishing times for them, just the date. I usually create them as pitches.
   I like to create several posts in the calendar ahead of time and then go in and
   edit the actual posts later.
 * The website is [http://www.marianamcdougall.com](http://www.marianamcdougall.com),
   if it matters.
 * Thank you!
 * Mariana

 * Hi [@marianamcdougall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marianamcdougall/),
 * Thanks for the information. We understand you are not setting a time, but due
   the date type used for the post date column, if no time is set, it is always 
   00:00. So if your site and server/DB timezones don’t match you will see this 
   behavior.
 * For example, if your site is on a timezone with offset of -2 hours, you create
   a post for 25th (it automatically set time as 00:00), that date -2 hours will
   be 24th 10pm.
 * Please, could you double check if the site, database and server are all using
   the same timezone?
