 * Hello [@harsh1225](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harsh1225/)
 * Thanks for reaching out about the `article:published_time` Open Graph tag. It
   should be a timestamp of when the page was published. It’d be helpful if you 
   could explain what’s wrong with what you currently have. Also, let us know the
   timezone your WordPress installation is set in from WordPress > Settings > Timezone.

 * This is indeed the expected behavior. output. WordPress saves the date/time in
   the database in GMT and Yoast SEO uses the GMT date and time (+00:00) as well.
   This might cause confusion sometimes but is exactly according to [the specification](https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/74288?hl=en).
   And UTC is the same timezone as GMT, just named differently.
 * WordPress takes that local timezone information you have set in WordPress > Settings
   > General > Timezone, uses it to calculate the UTC, and then outputs that in 
   UTC. This makes it easier and more consistent for search engines to follow and
   use. For more information about the date and time formats, please refer to this
   link: [http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime](http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime).
 * However, if you believe the date & time you see is wrong, please let me know 
   exactly what you expect to see so as to compare both
