Title: Wrong Date (Day -1) Last modified: November 23, 2019 --- # Wrong Date (Day -1) * [clemensfuhrbach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clemensfuhrbach/) * (@clemensfuhrbach) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-day-1/) * Hey there, recently I have an error in displaying the date. All days are correct in my database, but wrong while created for any display (front-/backend). * As a quick workaround I replaced line 227 and 237 $mfgigcal_date .= “
” . date_i18n(“d”, $start_date) . “
”; * with $mfgigcal_date .= “
” . $startArray[2] . “
”; * Same in line 244 but there with $endArray $mfgigcal_date .= “
” . $endArray[2] . “
”; * As a quick workaround that works for me, however, it would be great if someone has an idea what’s wrong/not working on that spot. * Cheers Clemens Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-day-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-day-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Matthew Fries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brewermfnyc/) * (@brewermfnyc) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-day-1/#post-12169777) * Clemens * This helps a lot. I’ve had 2 people tell me they are having this issue. I’ve been unable to replicate it here and this the first info I’ve gotten confirming that the data in the DB isn’t distorted – that it’s an issue with date_i18n() returning the wrong day. Looking into it! * Did you happen to notice, is it just the day (number) that is incorrect? Or is it actually shifting it by a day? * For example: Nov 30 becomes Dec 1 on output. * Also – are you seeing this in the admin area AND on your site? Or is it correct in admin area? * Thanks for the help. - This reply was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by [Matthew Fries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brewermfnyc/). * Thread Starter [clemensfuhrbach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clemensfuhrbach/) * (@clemensfuhrbach) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-day-1/#post-12169823) * Hey Matthew, * it pretty much looks like the day is always -1 – so 01.01.2020 turns 31.12.2019 * > Also – are you seeing this in the admin area AND on your site?

I know that WP date function is reported to be kinda finicky, so I’m looking for answers. I might send you a patch to try out (since I can’t replicate the problem here) if you’re game.

Matthew, is there a patch or update somewhere? Someone mentioned trying it, but I don’t see where I can download it. If not, what is the timeline for getting a fix. I’m getting a bit desperate, so to avoid fans showing up on wrong dates I now will go in and adjust our dates one day later to make them appear correct online. But then everything will be messed up again once fixed, so I don’t want to manually change too much. thank you, and sorry this is a problem for you. I love your plug-in…… * Plugin Author [Matthew Fries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brewermfnyc/) * (@brewermfnyc) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-day-1/page/2/#post-12198980) * Sorry to be MIA on this. Crazy busy in my normal life at the moment. * The only way I was able to replicate this problem was by messing with my time zone in WP. The tool that provides the translated dates (so it can be in many languages) doesn’t handle time zones very well. My latest update 1.0.4 fixed that for me on my couple testing servers. So I’m just guessing at what might be the problem for you. Still looking for a solution here. * If you contact me directly through my website I might be able to help you specifically– at least temporarily until I find a real solution. * Sorry for the problems here. Again I’ve got 3-4 different versions of WP running on different versions of PHP and can’t replicate the problem… * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-day-1/#post-12200099) * [@clemensfuhrbach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clemensfuhrbach/) Do not post your email address in these forums again.

The dates are now showing correctly. * I didn’t dig deeper than that, so I don’t know whether the change worked because WP treats a name-based timezone differently, or if all that was required was a resetting of the timezone. * But either way, it worked. * [jadeburn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jadeburn/) * (@jadeburn) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-day-1/#post-12247328) * Disappointing further update on problem reported by [@royzband](https://wordpress.org/support/users/royzband/) * After a few days, we noticed that the problem was still there, but this time with a twist that may be noteworthy or not. * Dates within the next 90 days are still shown correctly, but dates more than 90 days in the future are showing with the 1-day offset (-1) on the public view. * One additional observation that may help is that the problem is even noticeable within the admin pages: - The admin “upcoming performances” list view also shows the -1-day offset. - The admin “add/edit” view must be set +1-day in order to counteract the -1- day offset in the other views. * I’m not sure what could explain this. Perhaps the plugin author has some thoughts.
