Hello, Herve and Linda

I have the same problem. At my website Clickomania, posts of the day used to show up with a delay of one day (February 24 would show the posts of the twenty-third).

The problem seems to be a combination of different time zones and wordpress cache (strtotime and current_time). If the server and wordpress have different settings, then, midnight is not determined correctly.

I tried to fix that with the following code in the class-query.php file. It works for me, but since I am wordpress/PHP dummy, I would feel much better if you took a look at it.

/**
 * Get the number of seconds left in the day.
 *
 * @return int $seconds Number of seconds left until midnight.
 */
public static function get_seconds_left_in_day(): int {
    $now      = new DateTime( 'now', wp_timezone() );
    $midnight = new DateTime( 'tomorrow', wp_timezone() );

    // Seconds left until midnight.
    $seconds_remaining = $midnight->getTimestamp() - $now->getTimestamp();

    if ( 0 >= $seconds_remaining || 86400 < $seconds_remaining ) {
        $seconds_remaining = DAY_IN_SECONDS; // Default: a full day, i.e. 86400 seconds.
    }

    /**
     * Allow filtering the time the data is cached.
     *
     * @param int $seconds_remaining Number of seconds.
     */
    return (int) apply_filters( 'jeherve_posts_on_this_day_cache_duration', $seconds_remaining );
}

And:

$current_date = ( new DateTime( 'now', wp_timezone() ) )->format( 'Ymd' );

        $transient_key = sprintf(
            'jeherve_posts_on_this_day_%1$d_%2$d_%3$s_%4$s_%5$s',
            $max,
            $back,
            esc_attr( $types ),
            ( true === $exact_match ? 'exact' : 'aweek' ),
            $current_date
        );

Thanks! And thanks again for the great plugin!
