 * Hi Guys
 * We use the Rest API to add new custom posts but we are finding that the posts
   are getting “Scheduled” instead of published. Here is the scenario…
 * Server Time Hardware Time = Australia/Brisbane
    Server Time System Time = Australia/
   Brisbane
 * Wordpress Time Zone = Australia/Brisbane
 * Sample Time from the WordPress General Settings Page.
 * Universal time (GMT) is 2017-02-23 22:00:00. Local time is 2017-02-24 08:00:00.
 * If we create a new post with the REST API **before**
    -  10am Local time (Australia/Brisbane) it set the post to “Scheduled”
    - For example I insert a new post using the API at 2017-02-24 08:00:00 (Australia/
      Brisbane) it will schedule the post to 2017-02-24 18:00:00
    - As per these instructions [http://v2.wp-api.org/reference/posts/](http://v2.wp-api.org/reference/posts/)
      we are setting the “date” using the local time (Australia/Brisbane) when we
      create a post.
    - Any ideas why it’s doing this?
