 * Hello,
 * I am running a website with an Authorize.net Payment gateway. When trying to 
   submit payment I got an error indicating the timestamp was wrong – so I went 
   and looked at WP general Settings. The timezone selected was correct, however
   it displays 1 hour later than it should.
 * SO I looked at the UTC time WP provided – that too shows an hour later than actual
   UTC. I tried switching to a different timezone, and still the UTC time was incorrect.
 * I cannot find where the timestamp is generated in the WP Code Editor. We use 
   the same host/server for this website as another website that also receives payments,
   so I believe the error is to do with WP.
 * Please advise

 * WordPress actually gets the time from your server. If UTC displays wrong at Settings-
   > General in your blog’s Dashboard, it means UTC on the server is wrong.
 * I recommend contacting your hosting provider and asking them to check your server’s
   clock.
