Title: Local time bug Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Local time bug * Resolved [Denis Bolvinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinisiy/) * (@dinisiy) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/) * Hi, Will! I have noticed another bug: while post is schelduled in proper time( in wordpress admin), the real time of publication is wrong. This is because of default time settings are fixed to UTC+0. * For example, if I have time slot in plugin at 13:00, and wordpress setting UTC +3, the publication time will be 16:00… * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-post-publishing-scheduler/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-post-publishing-scheduler/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Will Brubaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willthewebmechanic/) * (@willthewebmechanic) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6946939) * Thanks for the report. I’ll be looking in to it. * Thread Starter [Denis Bolvinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinisiy/) * (@dinisiy) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947074) * One more thing, that looks more like feature request. * When I publish many posts at the same time, posts are schelduled into the same slot. Is there any way to put every new post to the next slot, making posts queue? * Plugin Author [Will Brubaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willthewebmechanic/) * (@willthewebmechanic) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947076) * I’m unable to reproduce the time issue that you reported. * time slot config: [https://cloudup.com/cK-GkCOadvy](https://cloudup.com/cK-GkCOadvy) WordPress time setting: [https://cloudup.com/cKGD_ce130k](https://cloudup.com/cKGD_ce130k) scheduled for 13:00: [https://cloudup.com/cyEx81Khf0t](https://cloudup.com/cyEx81Khf0t) * are you sure something else isn’t interfering with the time setting? * Thread Starter [Denis Bolvinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinisiy/) * (@dinisiy) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947164) * Yes, I’m sure, bug appears on the next step: actual time when post is published differs from the time that is shown in schelduled time field. * In your example: while schelduled time is 13:00, in fact the post will be published only at 16:00… But in post meta the “published” time will mistakenly be set to 13:00 * Plugin Author [Will Brubaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willthewebmechanic/) * (@willthewebmechanic) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947166) * Thanks for building my understanding…I’ll have another look. * On the other issue that you are reporting – how is it that you are publishing multiple posts at the same time? Is this via the Android client? * Thread Starter [Denis Bolvinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinisiy/) * (@dinisiy) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947167) * I meant not exactly the same time, but the same time period between two slots. * I have two time slots: at 18:00 and at 20:00. When I scheldule two posts at 17:20 and at 17:40, both posts are put into 18:00 slot. The best way would be to publish one post at 18:00 and the other at 20:00. * [nata-lee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nata-lee/) * (@nata-lee) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947205) * Hello, * I have the same issue with time like in the example: * > if I have time slot in plugin at 13:00, and wordpress setting UTC+3, the publication > time will be 16:00 * Also I can’t schedule posts if my time configuration is not in the US format ( F j, Y for date and g:i a for time) and also can’t set any exclusion date. The plugin just doesn’t work with local datetime format settings. * [nata-lee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nata-lee/) * (@nata-lee) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947215) * I checked in the database, post_date and post_date_gmt in the table wp_post for posts with the local time problem is the same. I don’t know why it happened. * I disabled the plugin and tried to change the sheduled time but post_date and post_date_gmt are still the same for old posts. For new posts values of post_date and post_date_gmt are correct. * Plugin Author [Will Brubaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willthewebmechanic/) * (@willthewebmechanic) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947216) * Thanks for that additional information. I haven’t found any time to dig in to this yet, but I hope to have time this weekend. * Plugin Author [Will Brubaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willthewebmechanic/) * (@willthewebmechanic) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947224) * 2.1.5 should have this time thing sorted out * Thread Starter [Denis Bolvinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinisiy/) * (@dinisiy) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947226) * Unfortunately, seems that it doesn’t work properly still… the same bug remains * Plugin Author [Will Brubaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willthewebmechanic/) * (@willthewebmechanic) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947228) * 2.1.6 maybe… * Thread Starter [Denis Bolvinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinisiy/) * (@dinisiy) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947229) * Now it works! Thanks a lot! * Should I make a new ticket for automatically queueing posts? * Plugin Author [Will Brubaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willthewebmechanic/) * (@willthewebmechanic) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-time-bug/#post-6947230) * Denis, * A new thread for a different problem would be my preference.
