# Publishing date error

 * This might be a throwback bug that has resurfaced, but it’s frustrating me to
   no end. For some odd reason _whenever I try to publish a post, the interface 
   sets the date to a week before the current date_. Has anyone had a similar problem?
 * I’ve already disabled all plugins, checked the server time, and checked what 
   time/date WordPress thinks it is..and everything checks out from that end. I’ve
   even checked the theme by using Twenty Fourteen. Any other suggestions?

 * In Settings > General what are your options set as for Timezone, Date format 
   and Time format?

 * Timezone: Stockholm
    Date format: l, F j, Y Time format: 12:11 (third option)
 * Nothing really out of the ordinary…
 * I even tried setting it to defaults to see if that solved anything..but nope.

 * Have you tried [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * When you navigate to New Post, have you noticed what time is displayed before
   you save or publish?

 * Ye..the time is normal until i hit publish.
 * However, I think I found the problem and I really really don’t like it. I have
   disabled my **LastPass extension in chrome** which is the one extension I would
   never want to live without. It seems that the date issue disappears when I disable
   it. So obviously not a WordPress issue…now I just have to ask LastPass what the
   problem is…
 * Thanks for the quick help everyone.
