    I am running wordpress 5.0.3. I want to change the time zone to my local timezone which is Asia/Kolkata but when I try to change it in Settings -> General -> Timezone and then save it, the time zone defaults back to UTC+0 . I raised this issue with my hosting provider and they editied the php.ini file to change the default timezone to Asia/Kolkata but still the issue persists. They said it might be a issue with wordpress or plugins. Please help as I want my woocommerce to reflect correct time and date

    Check your database’s wp_options table. Make sure it’s not locked or broken somehow.

    The timezone setting is the “timezone_string” setting in the options table.

    Thanks Samuel, I am not very familiar with this so could you please help in explaining how I can check the the options table. Sorry for my ignorance, I am not very familiar with coding.

    If you have to ask the question, then it is unlikely that you would understand the answer without a fair amount of time and reading.

    Ask your host if they have phpMyAdmin installed (they do, they always do), and then look up some tutorials on the web about how to use it and how databases work.
