Scheduled Document

Your timezone is based on WordPress timezone which is found in Dashboard > Settings > General > Timezone

Whatever you have set this too should be the timestamp posted on the document.

Check that setting out and see what you have set your timezone too.

a normal post or a mdocs post?

try changing your timezone to UTC-5 and see what the results are.

the times of your normal posts are correct, or are they off too?

Now I want you to goto the mdocs Dashboard > Test Server Compatibility.

And tell me if you have any unsupported values.

We need to narrow in on the problem.. I need you to check an mdocs post from the dashboard and see if its time is off by 4 hours as well.

very weird scenario, here is the function that is setting the time:

function mdocs_format_unix_epoch($gmdate=null) {
	date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
	if($gmdate == null) $gmdate = time();
	$date_format = get_option('mdocs-date-format');
	$formated_dates = array();
	$formated_dates['gmdate'] = $gmdate;
	$formated_dates['date'] = $gmdate+MDOCS_TIME_OFFSET;
	$formated_dates['formated-date'] = date($date_format, $formated_dates['date']);
	$formated_dates['wp-date'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $formated_dates['date']);
	$formated_dates['wp-gmdate'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $gmdate);
	return $formated_dates;
}

which is basically setting the time() to the server time then adding or subtracting from the global setting wp-time-offset.

What time is your server set to?

we are going to need to edit some code open the file mdocs-functions.php find the function mdocs_format_unix_epoch and remove the constant MDOCS_TIME_OFFSET it should look like this:

function mdocs_format_unix_epoch($gmdate=null) {
	date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
	if($gmdate == null) $gmdate = time();
	$date_format = get_option('mdocs-date-format');
	$formated_dates = array();
	$formated_dates['gmdate'] = $gmdate;
	$formated_dates['date'] = $gmdate;
	$formated_dates['formated-date'] = date($date_format, $formated_dates['date']);
	$formated_dates['wp-date'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $formated_dates['date']);
	$formated_dates['wp-gmdate'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $gmdate);
	return $formated_dates;
}
