# [Plugin: Contact Form] correct time zone?

 * How can I make it show the correct time zone on emails sent through the contact
   form? I found the place in the code:
    `'.get_option( 'time_format' ), time() ).'`
   but that calculates a time five hours ahead of my time zone. I don’t know a lot
   about PHP but is this a quick fix? Thanks 🙂

 * Hello,
 * Please make sure that on the ‘wp-admin/options-general.php’ page correct settings
   are selected for “get_option ( ‘time_format’ )” – there should be selected correct
   time zone.
 * It is possible that the time from server is used there which can be different
   from your time zone.

 * The plugin is using UTC. It should use the offset that is set in Settings -> 
   General
