    <?php echo date("F j Y"); ?>

    That’s the code I’m using to integrate into my header to display the CURRENT date. As of right now it’s 9:04 PM EST on NOVEMBER 2 2013, but it’s displaying NOVEMBER 3 2013 instead. Is this due to a time-zone issue, wrong code or simply wordpress not displaying the right date?

    Any help is appreciated.

    It’s probably returning UTC time for some reason. Try this and see if it makes any difference.

    <?php date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); ?><?php echo date("F j, Y"); ?>

    Will do. I’ll have to test it once it’s 9pm EST it’ll change the date prematurely so if it doesn’t then that means this code will work. Thanks.
