Auction Times

I’ve set up several listing plans in AP Version 4.6 like 1 day, 3 day, 7 day etc.. I have it set to have the admin approve listings first and when I approve it right after it is created all auction timers end 18 hours short of the chosen listing time.

Example: The seller chooses a 3 Day listing and auction shows auction ends in (2 days 6 hours 10 min 60 seconds) How do I get this to work correctly?

Thanks

Same problem over here.. We need a fix for this!

This is todo with the server clock, you need to set your php server time the same as your expected local time.

if you edit the functions.php in the main theme folder, i added a sample time zone there.

If you open the functions.php file you see iv comments out the timezone;

//date_default_timezone_set(‘Asia/Hong_Kong’);

simply adjust this to your time zone and un-comment it.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

example;

date_default_timezone_set(‘America/Los_Angeles’);

I must be missing something here… I’ve set in the functions.php file

date_default_timezone_set(‘America/Los_Angeles’);

and in the admin backend under Settings >> General I have set timezone to Los Angeles still times are off. Now listings are ending 14 hours early ??

sorry I meant to post some snips…

Ok so I contacted host for some help here and I have set in the functions.php file…

date_default_timezone_set(‘America/Chicago’);

then in the wp admin

Timezone: Chicago

and I am still having trouble with timer when I create a new listing. Let’s say a 1 day listing, it starts the auction off at 8 hours and 30 min… it’s missing 15 hours and 30 min ?

I would really like to get this sorted asap. Host says time zones are set correctly may be a script problem. Mark can you take a look?

Thanks

send a ticket and ill check, not much i can do without seeing your setup.

Mark thank you for getting that sorted for me 😀

I’m having the same problem… I matched my time zones in the editor and in my admin area. My server time is still 4 hours fast. Let me know what the outcome is, Mark. Perhaps I should open a ticket too?
