Todays Date

I hope this is the right place to post about this topic.

I’m using php shortcode and I’m simple trying to display today’s date… however it’s displaying tomorrows date instead.

I have updated settings / general / timezone to my timezone so that has already been covered.

This is the code I’m using

[echo]date(“F d, Y”);[/echo]

it’s very simple and in theory it works great aside from displaying tomorrows date and not today’s. are there any files I need to modify for this theme? I read somewhere that the default template settings could be in GMT I’m on Pacific Standard Time / PST.

I’ve spent a few hours trying to figure this out with no real answer to show for it.

Any help would be great!

TIA,
